Interacting internal waves explain global patterns of interior ocean mixing

Giovanni Dematteis, Arnaud Le Boyer, Friederike Pollmann +4

Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwe…
