Abstract
A transect of vertical profiles of currents, temperature, salinity, density, and microstructure from 10 to 400 m was carried out every 15′ of latitude from 2°N to 2°S along longitude 176°W in October, 1990, during the 51st Cruise of the R / V Akademik Kurchatov. Towed microstructure measurements at 176°15′W from 1°40′S to 45′S at 170–185 m entered the undercurrent from the south, and show enhanced mixing activity exists at core depths, but with such extreme intermittency that the dominant core mixing events may be invisible to vertical microstructure profilers. Nevertheless, evidence of core mixing was detected by the vertical microstructure profiler during the transect.
