On the Relative Importance of Ventilation and Mixing of Potential vorticity in Mid-Ocean GyresSource: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;1983:;Volume( 013 ):;issue: 011::page 2121Author:Pedlosky, J.

Abstract: An a priori estimate is given of the effect of ventilation on the process of potential vorticity homogenization. Since the homogenization process depends on the presence of weak mixing, it is shown that only a small exposure to a zone of ventilation is required to lead to an arrest of the homogenization.
