Short summary
Parameters at the sea surface are determined by the air–sea fluxes of heat, salt, and momentum. Surface wind speed drives the oceanic surface circulation and mixing of temperature and salinity up to a certain depth (mixed layer depth) from the sea surface. In this study, we examined the oceanic mixing process using numerical models under strong cyclonic winds. Results highlight the important role of inertial oscillations in subsurface mixing.
