Table 2.
Recorded data of the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy (ε, m2·s−3) at the three sites. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and [maximum–minimum]. Results of the analysis of two-way ANOVA showing the effects of site and depth (5–50 m) and their interactions on ε; df—degrees of freedom; MS—mean squares.
