Short summary
The bottom mixed layer is where water at the seafloor mixes with the water column above it, helping to move heat and nutrients around the ocean. Using new observations from the Pacific Ocean and publicly available data, we found that depth, seafloor shape, and internal wave energy losses explain much of the variation in the bottom mixed layer thickness. Our findings offer new insights into how these seafloor regions change over an abyssal region and where future measurements should focus.
