Net along-boundary upwelling occurs due to episodic turbulent mixing cells and tidal forces, enhancing carbon sequestration.
Upwelling resulting from tidal currents showed significant interaction with dense waters over lighter waters, reducing BBL stratification.
Analysis indicates that turbulence leads to instabilities that facilitate dense water mixing, impacting climate processes.
Findings suggest a crucial mechanistic link between mixing and upwelling along the ocean's sloping boundaries.
