Mixed Layer Dynamics

Mixed Layer Dynamics is the study of the physical processes governing the formation, evolution, and variability of the upper oceanic or atmospheric layer characterized by nearly uniform properties due to turbulent mixing, distinguished from broader fluid dynamical phenomena by its focus on buoyancy-driven, wind-forced, and shear-induced mixing mechanisms at the interface between the ocean and atmosphere or within the marine boundary layer.
