Fig. 9: Schematic showing temperature fields for the stratified turbulence-related processes.
From: Intensifying stratified turbulence and mixing towards the oceanic submesoscale front
a Internal wave breaking. b Submesoscale induced water mass intrusion/interleaving. c Convective overturning. These possible turbulent processes may cause the reflection bright spots (short gray patches) in seismic images. Temperature profiles (T) and their conceptual seismographs (R) on the left correspond to dashed lines on the idealized sections.
