In addition, the amount of diapycnal mixing, which is used for numerical stability in this class of ocean models, will also be reduced as the grid spacing becomes smaller. (ipcc.ch)
Quantify the magnitude, location, and physical mechanisms associated with interior diapycnal mixing in the ocean, which contribute to the diabatic AMOC, and evaluate the realism of current GCMs in this regard. (usclivar.org)
The researchers used data from the «Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean» (DIMES) project, a UK / US field program aimed at measuring diapycnal and isopycnal mixing in the Southern Ocean. (sciencedaily.com)
