Abstract. One main purpose of BOUM experiment was to give evidence of the possible impact of submesoscale dynamics on biogeochemical cycles. To this aim physical as well as biogeochemical data were collected along a zonal transect through the western and eastern basins. Along this transect 3 day fixed point stations were performed within anticyclonic eddies during which microstructure measurements were collected over the first 100 m. We focus here on the characterization of turbulent mixing induced by internal wave breaking. The analysis of microstructure measurements revealed a high level of turbulence in the seasonal pycnocline and a moderate level below with energy dissipation mean values of the order of 10−6 W kg−1 and 10−8 W kg−1, respectively. Fine-scale parameterizations developed to mimic energy dissipation produced by internal wavebreaking were then tested against these direct measurements. Once validated a parameterization has been applied to infer energy dissipation and mixing over the whole data set, thus providing an overview over a latitudinal section of the Mediterranean sea. The results evidence a significant increase of dissipation at the top and base of eddies associated with strong near inertial waves. Vertical turbulent diffusivity is increased both in these regions and in the weakly stratified eddy core.

AbstractThe plagioporine opecoelids Helicometra fasciata (Rudolphi, 1819) Odhner, 1902, and Macvicaria crassigula (Linton, 1910) Bartoli, Bray, and Gibson, 1989 have been reported from fishes in expansive geographic regions, disjointed from their type localities. New material of M. crassigula was collected from near its type locality as well as specimens resembling Helicometra fasciata sensu lato from three triglids in the Gulf of Mexico. Comparisons of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences, comprising the partial 18S rDNA, internal transcribed spacer region (= ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2), and partial 28S rDNA gene, from M. crassigula and Helicometra fasciata sensu lato in the Gulf of Mexico were made with sequences deposited in GenBank from those species from the Mediterranean Sea. Results reveal that M. crassigula sensu stricto from the Gulf of Mexico is distinct from the two cryptic species of M. crassigula sensu lato from the Mediterranean Sea and Helicometra fasciata sensu lato in this study differs from H. fasciata sequences from the Mediterranean Sea, thus Helicometra manteri sp. nov. is described.
