Thorpe Scale Analysis

Thorpe Scale Analysis is a metric in physical oceanography that quantifies the intensity of vertical mixing in stratified fluids by measuring the root-mean-square displacement of water parcels required to rearrange an observed density profile into stable hydrostatic equilibrium.
