Mixed Layer Formation

Mixed Layer Formation is a physical process in fluid dynamics whereby buoyancy-driven turbulence and convective currents interact to homogenize temperature, salinity, or density within a near-surface layer of a fluid body, distinguishing it from adjacent stratified layers through vertical uniformity induced by surface forcing.
