A Simple Eddy Potential Vorticity Flux Closure
Abstract It is shown that within the limits of quasi‐geostrophic scaling, biharmonic mixing of potential vorticity is equivalent to biharmonic lateral friction together with biharmonic isopycnal thickness mixing in primitive equations, all with the same viscosity. The problem of unbalanced zonal for...
