DOI: 10.1002/2016gb005547
Abstract: Seven years of data from the NOAA Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO) surface mooring, located in the North Pacific Ocean carbon sink region, were used to evaluate drivers of mixed-layer carbon cycling. A time-dependent mass balance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016gl071205
Abstract: Mixed-layer depth (MLD) has been widely linked to phytoplankton dynamics in Antarctica's coastal regions; however, inconsistent definitions have made intercomparisons among region-specific studies difficult. Using a data set with over 20,000 water column profiles corresponding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016jc012357
Abstract: Large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to investigate how turbulence in the wind-driven ocean mixed layer erodes the stratification of barrier layers. The model consists of a stratified Ekman layer that is driven by a surface… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2021.101895
Abstract: Abstract Earlier studies suggest that the mixed-layer (ML) temperature or sea surface temperature (SST) of the Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon is determined primarily by air-sea fluxes. We use an oceanic general circulation… read more here.
