Vertical section of (a) TKE dissipation rate ε and (b) vertical eddy diffusivity Kρ estimated by TurboMAP-L and VMP-2000 profilers from L1 to L11 on 25–26 November, 2017. Contour lines show isopycnals of potential density (σθ). The thick solid line indicates the base of the surface mixed layer, where potential density deviates by 0.03 kg m−3 from the uppermost density observations. Dark shading represents the bottom topography along the ship track from a shipboard sounder.
