Thorpe, S.A. (1978). The near-surface ocean mixing layer in stable heating conditions. Journal of Geophysical Research 83: doi: 10.1029/JC083iC06p02875. issn: 0148-0227.

Evidence is presented to show that Kelvin-Helmholtz instability dominates the structure in the mixing region near the sea surface when there is a net flux of heat into the sea and in conditions soon after the onset of wind.
