Approximating Isoneutral Ocean Transport via the Temporal Residual Mean

Approximating Isoneutral Ocean Transport via the Temporal Residual Mean

Ocean volume and tracer transports are commonly computed on density surfaces because doing so approximates the semi-Lagrangian mean advective transport. The resulting density-averaged transport can be related approximately to Eulerian-averaged quantities via the Temporal Residual Mean (TRM), valid i...
