Abstract: The deformation radius is widely used as an indication of the eddy length scale at different latitudes. The radius is usually calculated assuming a flat ocean bottom. However, bathymetry alters the baroclinic modes and ...

Abstract: he small-slope approximation to the full three-dimensional diffusion tensor of epineutral diffusion gives exactly the same tracer flux as the commonly used projected nonorthogonal diffusive flux of layered ocean models and ...

Abstract: he ocean?s circulation is analyzed in Absolute Salinity SA and Conservative Temperature Θ coordinates. It is separated into 1) an advective component related to geographical displacements in the direction normal to SA and ...

Abstract: he thermohaline inverse method (THIM) is presented that provides estimates of the diathermohaline streamfunction , the downgradient along-isopycnal diffusion coefficient K, and the isotropic downgradient turbulent diffusion ...

Abstract: his study provides observation-based estimates, determined by inverse methods, of horizontal and isopycnal eddy diffusion coefficients KH and KI, respectively, the small-scale mixing coefficient D, and the diathermohaline ...
