A Diagnosis of Anisotropic Eddy Diffusion From a High‐Resolution Global Ocean Model

Abstract Oceanic mesoscale eddies are known to diffuse and stir tracers, and the development of skillful eddy closures is aided considerably by the accurate diagnosis of these processes from eddy‐resolving model statistics. In this work a multiple‐tracers inversion method is applied to a global meso...
