Extended Data Fig. 6: Turbulence and mixing parameters.
From: Intense upper ocean mixing due to large aggregations of spawning fish

Time series of hourly mean a rate of dissipation of thermal variance (χ), b Thorpe scale (LT), c buoyancy Reynolds number (Reb), d turbulent Reynolds number (ReT), d turbulent Froude number (FrT), and f flux Richardson number (Rf, a proxi for mixing efficiency) during the three sampling periods (I01, I02 and I03). Gray shading indicates night-time periods of enhanced biophysical turbulence. Note the use of a logarithmic color scale in all panels.
