A comprehensive study, reported by Marine Technology News, has quantified the role of salt finger mixing in the ocean. The process, where differences in temperature and salinity drive small-scale vertical mixing, is said to help transport nutrients upward and support marine food webs. The research offers one of the most detailed measurements to date of how this mechanism contributes nutrients that sustain plankton and other marine life.
