Enhancement of turbulence and nutrient fluxes within an Eastern Boundary Upwelling Filament: a diapycnal entrainment approach

The filaments of the African Eastern Boundary Upwelling System (EBUS) are responsible for feeding nutrients to the oligotrophic waters of the northeastern Atlantic. However, turbulent mixing associated with nutrient uplift in filaments is poorly documented and has been mainly evaluated numerically....
