Mixed Layer Processes

Mixed Layer Processes is a physical oceanographic phenomenon characterized by the vertical homogenization of temperature, salinity, and momentum in the upper ocean layer due to turbulent mixing driven by wind forcing, buoyancy fluxes, and rotational effects unique to polar marine environments.
