Abstract	Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large eddy simulations are used to investigate the developing turbulence under a strong westerly wind burst observed in the equatorial Indian ocean.
