Wind-driven upwelling and downwelling of open water can induce mixing of different layers through the stratification, and force the rise of denser cold

whether to use compressible or incompressible fluid dynamics, the Mach number of the flow is evaluated. As a rough guide, compressible effects can be

Stratified layers are a barrier to the mixing of water, which impacts the exchange of heat, carbon, oxygen and other nutrients. The surface mixed layer is the
