Mean Temperature Profiles The mean temperature profile East of the Plateau looks like a “mixed” version of the profile from West of the Plateau - as if internal waves were mixing the deeper colder waters with lighter waters from above - upwelling them several thousand metres.
Inferred Vertical Diffusivities (Mixing Rates) Method of Polzin (1995) using ‘strain’ (small scale variations in the vertical density gradient) inferred from CTD measurements shows that mixing is actually much higher East of the Plateau than West of it. Central West East K ρ ~ 10 -5 -10 -2 m 2 s -1
