| Abstract: | This review emphasizes the space-time scales of internal waves in the sea, and the complex set of interrelations with microstructure. M ixing by breaking internal waves is briefly considered. A curious asymmetry is noted between the methods of observing microstructure in the oceans and atmosphere./p] |
