Thus, the static stability of the near - surface water increases and the convective mixing of cold surface water with
the relatively warm subsurface water is reduced, thereby contributing to the reduction of sea surface temperature in the Circumpolar Ocean.
Studying how that turbulence mixes
relatively warm subsurface water with colder water at the surface.

dana1981 - An additional part of that correction is that the deeper
subsurface Antarctic waters are (
relatively)
warmer than surface waters, not colder as stated in the OP.
