Small Scale Processes in Geophysical Fluid Flows: Volume 67

by Carol Anne Clayson, Sachi S. Kantha, Lakshmi H. Kantha

While ocean waves are the most visible example of oceanic mixing processes, this macroscale mixing process represents but one end of the spectrum of mixing processes operating in the ocean. At the scale of a typical phytoplanktoic diatom or larval fish inhabiting these seas, the most important mixing processes occur on the molecular scale - at the scale of turbulence. Physical-biological interactions at this scale are of paramount importance to the...
