- W4385481303 abstract "<strong class=journal-contentHeaderColor>Abstract.</strong> Turbulent diapycnal mixing is important for the estuarine circulation between basins of the Baltic Sea as well as for its local ecosystems, in particular with regard to eutrophication and anoxic conditions. While the interior of the basins is overall relatively calm, stratified flow over steep bathymetric features is known as a source for strong turbulent mixing. Yet, current in situ observations often cannot capture dynamic and intermittent turbulent mixing related to overflow over rough bathymetry. We present observational oceanographic data together with openly accessible high-resolution bathymetry from a prototypical sill and an adjacent deep channel in the sparsely-sampled Southern Quark located in the Åland Sea, connecting the Northern Baltic Proper with the Bothnian Sea. Our data include high resolution broadband acoustic observations of turbulent mixing, in situ microstructure profiler measurements, and current velocities from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers and were acquired during two one-week cruises in February–March 2019 and 202. A temporally reversing non-tidal stratified flow over the steep bathymetric sill created a dynamic and extremely energetic environment. Saltier, warmer, and less oxygenated deep water south of the sill was partly blocked, the reversing flow was at times hydraulically controlled with hydraulic jumps occurring on both sides of the sill, and sub-mesoscale processes in the surface layer leading to high spatial variability at small scales. Mixing and vertical salt flux rates were increased by 3–4 orders of magnitude in the entire water column in the vicinity of the sill compared to reference stations not directly influenced by the overflow. We suggest based on acoustic observations and in situ measurements that underlying mechanisms for the highly increased mixing across the halocline are a combination of shear and topographic lee waves which are breaking at the halocline interface. We anticipate that the resulting deep- and surface-water modification in the Southern Quark directly impacts exchange processes between the Bothnian Sea and the Northern Baltic Proper and that the observed mixing is likely important for oxygen and nutrient conditions in the Bothnian Sea. Our results contribute to the knowledge on turbulent mixing processes in the Åland Sea and can help to improve mixing parametrizations in numerical models of the area." @default.
