Abstract

Two Argo floats circulating in the Banda Sea from July 2017 until April 2019 were analysed to inspect the hydrography and vertical mixing properties. The maximum intrusion of Pacific thermocline and intermediate layers in the Banda Sea were identified during the Southeast Monsoon period with high temporal variability in the mixed layer ([removed]10-8 m2 s-3 and [10-5-10-4] m2 s-1, respectively, were observed in the mixed layer and thermocline layer, with the decreasing trend deeper. The dissipation rate and diffusivity are comparable to previous direct estimates and models, suggesting the potential use of Argo float datasets to quantify vertical mixing in the future.
