The Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment: A First Assessment

The Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in theSouthern Ocean (DIMES) was designed as a multi-pronged USand UK CLIVAR effort to measure and to better understanddiapycnal mixing and along-isopycnal eddy transport inthe Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), because theseprocesses together appear t...

Description
Summary:The Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in theSouthern Ocean (DIMES) was designed as a multi-pronged USand UK CLIVAR effort to measure and to better understanddiapycnal mixing and along-isopycnal eddy transport inthe Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), because theseprocesses together appear to play a key role in the MerdionalOverturning Circulation (MOC) (Gille et al., 2007).
