Global Internal Waves
General circulation models (e.g. Samelson, 1998) indicate that the thermohaline circulation is highly sensitive to the global magnitude and distribution of mixing. Recent observations (e.g. Polzin et al ...

Small-Scale Mixing
Ocean flows are spatially complex and rapidly evolving. Measurements resolve a combination of the two dimensions (space and time) with varying degrees of success: moorings (excellent temporal coverage, poor spatial ...
