Understanding the Regional Variability of Eddy Diffusivity in the Pacific Sector of the Southern Ocean
A diagnostic framework is presented, based on the Nakamura effective diffusivity, to investigate the regional variation in eddy diffusivity. Comparison of three different diffusivity calculations enables the effects of locally enhanced tracer diffusion to be distinguished from the streamwise average...
