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: Turbulent mixing in the interior of the oceans is not as well understood as mixing in the oceanic boundary layers. Mixing in the generally stably stratified interior is primarily, although not exclusively, due to intermittent… read more here.
