  19. Oceanic Mixed Layer Model • The turbulent mixing is strong enough so that upper ocean is characterized by a mixed layer where the temperature does notvary in thevertical direction; • Transition layer between the mixed layer and the stratified non turbulent ocean bellow is much smaller than the mixed layer so that the vertical variation of temperature can be indicated by a temperature jump; • The energy required to sustain turbulent mixing is provided by convergence of the vertical flux of TKE.
