  • Ocean Mixing by Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability

    Creator:
    Smyth, William D. and Moum, James N.
    Abstract:
    Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, characterized by the distinctive finite-amplitude billows it generates, is an important mechanism in the development of turbulence in the stratified interior of the ocean. In particular, it is often assumed that the onset of turbulence in internal waves begins in this way. Clear recognition of the importance...
