Mixed Layer Turbulence

Mixed Layer Turbulence is a physical oceanographic phenomenon characterized by turbulent fluid motions within the ocean's surface mixed layer, driven by wind, buoyancy fluxes, and wave-induced processes that enhance vertical mixing and regulate heat, momentum, and mass transfer across the air–sea interface.
