Mixing efficiency is the ratio of the net change in potential energy to the energy expended in
producing the mixing. Parameterizations of efficiency and of related mixing coefficients are …

Over the past several decades, there has developed a community-wide appreciation for the
importance of mixing at the smallest scales to geophysical fluid dynamics on all scales. This …

Small-scale turbulent mixing drives the upwelling of deep water masses in the abyssal
ocean as part of the global overturning circulation. However, the processes leading to …

The Mauritanian coastal area is one of the most biologically productive upwelling regions in
the world ocean. Shipboard observations carried out during maximum upwelling season …

Microstructure measurements taken on the Monterey Bay continental shelf, within 4km of the
shelf break, reveal a complex mixing environment. Depth-and time-averaged dissipation …

Abstract The Cold Pool is a 20–60 m thick band of cold, near‐bottom water that persists from
spring to fall over the midshelf and outer shelf of the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) and …

A tidally driven, stratified boundary layer over supercritical topography is simulated
numerically. The near‐boundary flow is characterized by quasiperiodic, bore‐like motions …

Although continental shelf seas make up a relatively small fraction (ca 7%) of the world
ocean's surface, they are thought to contribute significantly (20–50% of the total) to the open …
