The mixed layer, where ocean properties are uniform, is key to ocean dynamics and ocean-atmosphere interactions. We propose an alternative definition of the mixed layer as the layer in which water parcels can move with little or no work. This approach provides realistic estimates of mixed-layer depth across space and time under diverse ocean conditions. It has potential implications for improving our understanding of various ocean-atmosphere phenomena, including dynamic and thermodynamic ones.
