Evaporation induced convection enhances mixing in the upper ocean

D Falor, B Gayen, D Sengupta, GN Ivey - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 - frontiersin.org
The upper ocean surface layer is directly affected by the air-sea fluxes. The diurnal
variations in these fluxes also cause the upper ocean mixed layer turbulence and mixing to …
