Turbulent mixing from breaking oceanic internal waves drives a vertical transport of water,
heat and other climatically important tracers in the ocean, thereby playing an important role …

Diapycnal mixing plays a primary role in the thermodynamic balance of the ocean and,
consequently, in oceanic heat and carbon uptake and storage. Though observed mixing …

The influence of turbulent ocean mixing transcends its inherently small scales to affect large
scale ocean processes including water‐mass transformation, stratification maintenance, and …

Fine-and microstructure data from a free fall profiler are analysed to test models that relate
the turbulent dissipation rate (ε) to characteristics of the internal wave field. The data were …

The energy flux from the wind to inertial mixed layer motions is computed for all oceans from
50° S to 50° N for the years 1996–99. The wind stress, τ, is computed from 6-h, 2.5° …

Energy flux is a fundamental quantity for understanding internal wave generation,
propagation, and dissipation. In this paper, the estimation of internal wave energy fluxes〈 …

Oceanic mesoscale structures such as eddies and fronts can alter the propagation, breaking
and subsequent turbulent mixing of wind-generated internal waves. However, it has been …

While near-inertial waves are known to be generated by atmospheric storms, recent
observations in the Kuroshio Front find intense near-inertial internal-wave shear along …

Fine-and microstructure profiles collected over Fieberling Seamount at 32° 26′ N in the
eastern North Pacific reveal a variety of intensified baroclinic motions driven by astronomical …

We report direct, quantitative measurements of mixing associated with three cycles of a
single, energetic, downward‐propagating near‐inertial wave in the Banda Sea at 6.5° S …
