Vertical Structure of Ocean Mesoscale Eddies with Implications for Parameterizations of Tracer Transport
Abstract The Gent–McWilliams parameterization is commonly used in global ocean models to model the advective component of tracer transport effected by unresolved mesoscale eddies. The vertical structure of the transfer coefficient in this parameterization is studied using data from a 0.1° resolution...
