21. Also, the horizontal divergence of wind-driven mixed layer currents results in the upwelling of colder thermocline water. 22. Ultimately, diatom cells in these resting populations re-enter the upper mixed layer when vertical mixing entrains them. 23. Likewise, global warming is projected to increase stratification and cause a shallowing of the mixed layer depth. 24. Turbulence is high in the mixed layer . 25. The deeper the mixed layer , the lower the average amount of light intercepted by phytoplankton within it. 26. The surface zone, also called the mixed layer , refers to the uppermost density zone of the ocean. 27. During this third phase, which spans over most of the afternoon, the mixed layer depth is relatively constant. 28. The strained silicon is produced by depositing a mixed layer of silicon and germanium onto a silicon base. 29. This trigger occurs in the spring due to seasonal changes in the critical depth and mixed layer depth. 30. Tropical regions are less likely than midlatitude regions to have a mixed layer dependent on diurnal temperature changes.
