Sensitivity of a Coarse‐Resolution Global Ocean Model to a Spatially Variable Neutral Diffusivity
Abstract Motivated by recent advances in mapping mesoscale eddy tracer mixing in the ocean we evaluate the sensitivity of a coarse‐resolution global ocean model to a spatially variable neutral diffusion coefficient κn(x, y, z). We gradually introduce physically motivated models for the horizontal (m...
