Shamal Winds Reveal the Physical Drivers of Arabian Gulf Mixing

Cold, dry Shamal winds do more than chill the air; they reach down and stir the entire water column. New research from the northwestern Arabian Gulf shows that these winter events drive convective mixing all the way to the seabed, fundamentally reshaping turbulence in this shallow basin. The study's model, observation comparisons reveal a critical insight: tidal shear dominates under calm conditions, but Shamal peaks override that mechanism, homogenizing the water column and suppressing shear-driven mixing.
