interleaving

A type of quasi-horizontal mixing in which layers of fluid (“intrusions”) flow laterally in alternating directions. Their signature is temperature (T) and/or salinity (S) inversions in a profile of T and S versus depth, indicating that layers of water have moved laterally from opposing directions. The term “interleaving layer” connotes an intrusive motion of large extent in the direction along the front.
