Congratulations to Dr. Arnaud Valcarcel on his publication in Ocean Science! Although Cook Strait, NZ is deep (~ 200 m), turbulent boundary layers can connect if the forcing is strong enough. Arnaud’s study used a turbulence package-attached autonomous glider to “fly” through some pretty strong wind and tidal flow conditions. Combined with a weakly stratified interior, this paper identifies some conditions where boundary interaction occurs. Check it out!
