http://sio.ucsd.edu/Announcements/Mackinnon_Cruise/ Internal Waves and Mixing above the South West Indian Ridge With instruments that measured water velocity, the researchers believe they captured the first close look at internal waves and internal mixing inside a 6-kilometer (3.7-mile) deep area called the Atlantis II Fracture Zone. Their data include information on how cooler, bottom waters intricately mix with warmer waters as they flow between the Southern and Indian Oceans.
