Ocean Mixing - Exploring the physics of turbulence and mixing is key to our understanding of ocean dynamics. Innovative instrumentation, detailed analysis, and simple dynamical models enable us to:
understand the generation and evolution of turbulence
quantify irreversible fluxes of heat, salt, biology, chemicals and momentum
identify the processes (the pathways to turbulence) which produce these fluxes
determine the effects of turbulence on larger-scale flows.
