The Geography of Numerical Mixing in a Suite of Global Ocean Models

Abstract Numerical mixing, defined here as the physically spurious tracer diffusion due to the numerical discretization of advection, is known to contribute to biases in ocean models. However, quantifying numerical mixing is nontrivial, with most studies utilizing targeted experiments in idealized s...
