Popis: of the event was (0.5–4.5) × 10 −1 m 2 s −1 . No other overturning events greater than 50 m high were observed in the record, suggesting that abyssal mixing is strongly intermittent. We suggest that such intermittency in abyssal mixing and flow is likely the rule rather than the exception, calling for more highly temporally resolved observations. Citation: Alford, M. H., R.
