Surface cooling caused by rare but intense near-inertial wave induced mixing in the tropical Atlantic

Surface cooling caused by rare but intense near-inertial wave induced mixing in the tropical Atlantic

How the tropical mixed layer of the ocean reacts to near-inertial waves has rarely been observed directly. Here, the authors present new data that shows strongly elevated vertical diffusive heat flux in the presence of near-inertial waves, causing a cooling of the mixed layer that is particularly st...
