On the validity of downgradient eddy closures in ocean models
Results are presented from an eddy-resolving primitive equation ocean model to test the hypothesis that geostrophic eddies can be parameterized through a variety of downgradient closures. Time-mean eddy fluxes of temperature, isopycnic thickness, and quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity are diagnos...
