Shear Instability and Turbulent Mixing by Kuroshio Intrusion Into the Changjiang River Plume

Abstract Shear instability is a dominant mechanism for mixing in the stratified oceans and coastal seas. For the first time, we present fine‐scale, direct measurements of shear instabilities in the bottom front generated by the Kuroshio intrusion into the Changjiang (Yangtze) river plume. Shear inst...
