Evidence of enhanced turbulent dissipation in the frontogenetic Kuroshio Front thermocline

Enhanced turbulent dissipation, O(10−8–10−7) Wkg−1 in the thermocline on the cyclonic side of the Kuroshio Front was observed during a period of frontogenesis, using a microstructure profiler, XBT and ADCP along 143°E across the Kuroshio Front in August 2008. The eddy diffusivity corresponding to th...
