Simulating Lagrangian Subgrid‐Scale Dispersion on Neutral Surfaces in the Ocean

Abstract To capture the effects of mesoscale turbulent eddies, coarse‐resolution Eulerian ocean models resort to tracer diffusion parameterizations. Likewise, the effect of eddy dispersion needs to be parameterized when computing Lagrangian pathways using coarse flow fields. Dispersion in Lagrangian...
