Missing-mixing paradox

FVA English to Italian Science Environment & Ecology Oceanografia
the term is used in this paragraph on the Wikipedia page related to the Southern Ocean overturning circulation:

The missing-mixing paradox assumes that dense water is upwelled through the thermocline to close the circulation. To achieve this, vertical mixing is needed in the thermocline, which is not observed.[20] Instead, dense water from sinking regions returned to the surface in nearly adiabatic pathways along density isopycnals, which was already written by Harald Sverdrup (oceanographer).

May anyone help?
Thanks

paradosso del rimescolamento mancante

Il processo di rimescolamento tra le densità degli strati in questa teoria dovrebbe avvenire nel termoclino, cosa che non accade.
Nei link sottostanti sono presenti le spiegazioni del processo in questione e in entrambi viene utilizzato il termine "rimescolamento"
