Surface Boundary Layer Mixing

Surface Boundary Layer Mixing is a physical oceanographic process, within the broader class of vertical mixing mechanisms in coastal waters, that specifically arises from turbulent exchange driven by wind-induced shear stresses and surface buoyancy fluxes within the uppermost layer of the water column, thereby distinguishing it from deeper or bottom boundary layer mixing processes.
