The Kuroshio flowing over seamounts and associated submesoscale flows drive 100-km-wide 100-1000-fold enhancement of turbulence

Persistent and intense mixing hotspots are generated where the Kuroshio flows over steep seamounts, with an increase in energy dissipation by two to three orders of magnitude, according to tow-yo microstructure measurements combined with numerical simulations.
