Latitude-dependent finescale turbulent shear generations in the Pacific tropical-extratropical upper ocean
Turbulent mixing, which is critically important for the equilibrium of ocean circulation, is
controlled by finescale turbulent shear (S 2) of oceanic flows through shear instability.
Although the relationship between S 2 and mixing is well understood, the latitude-
dependent generation processes of S 2 remain poorly known due to the lack of
geographically extensive, long-term finescale velocity measurements. Here, using one-year
ADCP data from 17 moorings along 143° E, we first show that the upper-ocean S 2 and its …
