Abstract: The sensitivity of the ocean?s climate to the diapycnal diffusivity in the ocean is studied for a global warming scenario in which CO2 increases by 1% yr?1 for 75 yr. The thermohaline circulation slows down for about 100 ...

Abstract: The diapycnal diffusivity in the ocean is one of the least known parameters in current climate models. Measurements of this diffusivity are sparse and insufficient for compiling a global map. Inferences from inverse methods ...
