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...
