Science, 1999•science.orgEstablishment of the temperature-salinity relationship in the ocean has concerned
oceanographers for decades because of its importance for understanding ocean circulation.
High-resolution measurements in the ocean mixed layer are used to show that temperature
and salinity gradients on horizontal scales of 20 meters to 10 kilometers tend to compensate
in their effect on density. These observations support the notion of a horizontal mixing in the
mixed layer that depends on density gradient.
