The stratified ocean mixes episodically in small patches where
energy is dissipated and density smoothed over scales of
centimeters. The net effect of these countless events effects the
shape of the ocean's thermocline, how heat is transported from the
sea surface to the interior, and how dense bottom water is lifted
into the global overturning circulation. This book explores the
primary factors affecting mixing, beginning with the thermodynamics
of seawater, how they vary in the ocean and how they depend on the
physical properties of seawater. Turbulence and double diffusion
are then discussed, which determines how mixing evolves and the
different impacts it has on velocity, temperature, and salinity. It
reviews insights from both laboratory studies and numerical
modelling, emphasising the assumptions and limitations of these
methods. This is an excellent reference for researchers and
graduate students working to advance our understanding of mixing,
including oceanographers, atmospheric scientists and limnologists.
