Mixed Layer Circulation

Mixed Layer Circulation is a wind-driven ocean circulation process that occurs within the upper, homogenized layer of the ocean where turbulent mixing homogenizes temperature and salinity, distinguishing it from deeper, stratified circulations by its direct responsiveness to surface wind stress and buoyancy forcing.
