Diapycnal mixing processes in the ocean interior

MacKinnon, J. and St. Laurent, L. and Naveira Garabato, A. C.

abstract: Diapycnal mixing in the ocean interior is driven by a wide range of processes, each with distinct governing physics and unique global geography. Here we review the primary processes responsible for turbulent mixing in the ocean interior, with an emphasis on active work from the past decade. We conclude with a discussion of global patterns of mixing and their importance for regional and large-scale modeling accuracy.
