Abstract
In this note a simple model is offered for mixed-layer deepening caused by wind action at the free surface of a density-stratified fluid. Solar radiation, cooling advection, and Coriolis effects are not considered. To include an aspect of mixing in waters of limited horizontal extent, a steamwise pressure gradient is taken into account.Keywords
