dc.description.abstract This study calculates the vertical diffusivity and the fluxes of heat, salt, and buoyancy due to turbulence and double diffusion based on a 14day time series of observations of the dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy and thermal variance at 0 degrees N, 156 degrees E from 25 October to 18 November 2012. Salt fingering dominates shear-driven turbulence below 100m. The estimated flux and associated vertical diffusivity due to double diffusion are approximately 1 order of magnitude higher for temperature and density and 2 orders of magnitude higher for salinity compared to values calculated from a turbulence model. Under weak turbulence conditions, the turbulence model significantly underestimates the magnitude of the vertical buoyancy flux with the flux having the wrong sign. Under these conditions, fluxes induced by double-diffusive mixing need to be considered. -
