Influence of the Nonlinear Equation of State on Global Estimates of Dianeutral Advection and Diffusion
Recent work on the global overturning circulation and its energetics assumes that processes caused by nonlinearities of the equation of state of seawater are negligible. Nonlinear processes such as cabbeling and thermobaricity cause diapycnal motion as a consequence of isopycnal mixing. The nonlinea...
