Full‐Depth Scalings for Isopycnal Eddy Mixing Across Continental Slopes Under Upwelling‐Favorable Winds

Abstract Mesoscale eddy mixing profoundly modulates the ocean tracer budgets, and is typically parameterized via the isopycnal eddy diffusivity in ocean climate models. However, relatively little is known about the magnitude/structure of isopycnal eddy diffusivity across continental slopes, which hi...
