Equatorially trapped waves and wave-induced mixing in the mid-depth atlantic ocean /

A wave-induced mixing and transport mechanism in the mid-depth equatorial Atlantic Ocean is proposed and examined using a hierarchy of models ranging from relatively simple analytical models to a comprehensive eddy-resolving OGCM. First, the kinematic stirring study using linear solutions suggests t...
