DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2020.101693
Abstract: Abstract The isopycnal tracer diffusion scheme is commonly used in a coarse-resolution global ocean model to parameterize the diffusive effect of mesoscale eddy stirring. This scheme implemented in a depth-coordinate model often accompanies a fail-safe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085056
Abstract: There have been recent advancements in the quantification of parameters describing the proportion of internal tide energy being dissipated locally and the “efficiency” of diapycnal mixing, that is, the ratio of the diapycnal mixing rate… read more here.
