I am now using the Thorpe-scale method to study turbulent mixing in the open oceans. To extract more realistic overturns, it is better to use high-resolution CTD data, as required by the Thorpe-scale method. Unfortunately, the standard WOCE CTD data are generally in 2dbar resolution, although the raw 24 Hz data are in much higher resolution.
