Eddy stirring in the Southern Ocean
There is an ongoing debate concerning the distribution of eddy stirring across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the nature of its controlling processes. The problem is addressed here by estimating the isentropic eddy diffusivity Kappa from a collection of hydrographic and altimetric obser...
