OCEANIC MIXING.

Abstract

The present knowledge of oceanic mixing is summarized. Two processes, 'advection' and 'diffusion,' which contribute substantially to oceanic mixing and their interaction are recognized in the mechanism of mixing. Environmental features of the sea in relation to advective and diffusive processes are also described. (Author)
