Diagnostics of diapycnal diffusion in z-level ocean models

In general ocean circulation models (OGCMs) diapycnal diffusion arises not only from the discretisation of the explicit diffusion, but also by numerically induced diffusion, caused, e.g., by common discretisations of advective transport. In the present study, three different diagnostics to analyse t...
