Figure 18. One­hour averaged profiles in the low­salinity lens. The thin dashed line denotes SMLD at 1715 UTC. Solid squares represent mixing parameters at 2 m from the similarity method. (a) Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate ffl measured from the MoanaWave along with 95% confidence limits from the bootstrap method (shaded areas); the solid square denotes ffl at the depth of 2 m from the similarity method. (b) Eddy diffusivity: at 2 m from the similarity theory (solid square), between 10 and 20 m from Osborn and Cox (1972), and below SMLD from Osborn (1980). (d) Heat flux, F ` , and (e) salt flux, F S . the open circle (``o'') in Fig. 18c denotes the surface heat flux of 225 W
