| 11. | Vertical mixing is constrained due to the separation from the mixed layer by depth.
|
| 12. | The mixed layer depth is in fact greater in winter than summer in each hemisphere.
|
| 13. | Results suggested no appreciable change in the mixed layer depth with the time of day.
|
| 14. | The bottom of the mixed layer is characterized by a gradient, where the water properties change.
|
| 15. | Below the mixed layer, cell concentrations rapidly decline.
|
| 16. | This is because heat is withdrawn from the ocean mixed layer in a number of ways.
|
| 17. | One study explored diurnal variability of the mixed layer depth in the Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean.
|
| 18. | In the ocean, the thermocline divides the upper mixed layer from the calm deep water below.
|
| 19. | The significant precipitation in this tropical area would lead to further stratification of the mixed layer.
|
| 20. | Below the mixed layer the upper ocean is generally governed by the hydrostatic and geostrophic relationships.
