Here is a typical example of the turbulence data we have been recording during the cruise (rhs plot). Strong turbulence is observed in the top 50m as the wind drives energy into the ocean by turbulent diffusion.  At depth turbulent dissipation rates are thousands of times smaller with very little energy except at the boundary between the Pacific and Atlantic water masses where enhanced mixing rates are observed.
