Detecting changes at the leading edge of an interface between oceanic water layers

The marginal interaction zones of oceans are understudied. Here, the authors analyse seismic observations of temporal changes at the interface between thermocline layers in the Panama Basin, that reveal a critical mixing state in which turbulent diffusion is gradually replaced by double-diffusion as...

Sumario:The marginal interaction zones of oceans are understudied. Here, the authors analyse seismic observations of temporal changes at the interface between thermocline layers in the Panama Basin, that reveal a critical mixing state in which turbulent diffusion is gradually replaced by double-diffusion as the dominant mixing process.
