Effective Eddy Diffusivities Inferred from a Point Release Tracer in an Eddy-Resolving Ocean Model

This study uses tracer experiments in a global eddy-resolving ocean model to examine two diagnostic methods for inferring effective eddy isopycnic diffusivity from point release tracers. The first method is based on the growth rate of the area occupied by the tracers (the equivalent variance). Durin...
