Overlooked Role of Mesoscale Winds in Powering Ocean Diapycnal Mixing

Diapycnal mixing affects the uptake of heat and carbon by the ocean as well as plays an important role in global ocean circulations and climate. In the thermocline, winds provide an important energy source for furnishing diapycnal mixing primarily through the generation of near-inertial internal wav...
