Ocean mixing is a crucial component of the earth system, driving heat downwards, mixing nutrients upwards, and energizing ocean circulations from coastal to global scales. Quantifying, characterizing, and predicting ocean mixing is a daunting task given the spread of spatial and temporal scales that must be resolved. Our group makes innovative measurements of ocean mixing and develops simplified ocean-physics simulations that elucidate the mixing mechanisms. The combination of observations and simulation in one group is rare internationally.

海洋混合是地球系统的关键组成部分，向下驱动热量，将养分向上融合，并从沿海到全球尺度的海洋循环充满活力。鉴于必须解决的空间和时间尺度的传播，量化，表征和预测海洋混合是一项艰巨的任务。我们的小组对海洋混合进行了创新的测量，并开发了简化的海洋物理模拟，以阐明混合机制。一组观测和模拟的结合在国际上是罕见的。
