Sensitivity of GFDL ocean general circulation model to a parameterization of vertical diffusion

A coarse resolution, primitive equation general circulation model with idealized geometry and forcing is used to explore sensitivity to the assumption that vertical diffusion depends upon local stability. A case with constant diffusivity is compared with a case in which the diffusivity is inversely...
