A dissection of the physics of the seasonal cycle of the oceanic upper layer stratification is necessary to improve climate predictions and to constrain the response of biogeochemical cycles to the climate change. Here we present a time series of vertical profiles of ε, the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, obtained from a microstructure profiler at a mid-latitude 75m-deep coastal site covering the destratification occurring during the the summer-to-winter. The main signature of the destratification is a progressive deepening of the mixed layer depth (MLD) from September to November, that finally extended to the bottom of the full water-column at the beginning of winter. By grouping the data into temporal and vertical bins we found that the... |
