Abstract: Climate models often parameterize isopycnal mixing by mesoscale eddies using a diffusion operator that acts in the isopycnal direction, multiplied by an isopycnalâmixing coefficient. The magnitude of this coefficient is uncertain, with observational estimates ranging… read more here.

Abstract: Both sporadic observations and modelling studies suggest that subthermocline eddies (SEs) exist east of the Philippines, where interhemispheric waters meet. However, effects of SEs on water mass mixing have never been observed. Here, using data… read more here.
