Frontal Mixing

Frontal Mixing is a physical oceanographic process characterized by the enhanced vertical and lateral exchange of water masses, heat, nutrients, and momentum across density gradients at oceanic fronts, driven by instabilities, shear, and wind- or wave-forced turbulence that distinguish it from broader oceanic mixing phenomena.
