TL;DR: In this article, the authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200 microstructure profiles, supplemented with indirect measurements of mixing obtained from (i) Thorpe-scale overturns from mooring profiles, (ii) shipboard observations of upper-ocean shear, (iii) strain as measured by profiling floats, and (iv) shear and strain from full-depth loweredacoustic Doppler currentprofilers (LADCP) and CTD profiles.

TL;DR: The objective is to create a fully global, top-to-bottom, dynamically complete, and multidisciplinary Argo Program that will integrate seamlessly with satellite and with other in situ elements of the Global Ocean Observing System.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the present understanding of how heat reaches the ice base from the original sources, and speculates on how such processes may change in the new Arctic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed, synthesized, and discussed the recent advances in understanding small-scale physical processes in the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean, including wave-turbulence interactions and the exchange of heat and salt at the ice-ocean interface.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that remote sensing of internal waves by marine seismic reflection methods can provide quantitative information on internal wave energy and its spatial variability at high lateral resolution and full ocean depth over large volumes of the ocean.
