Observational Inferences of Lateral Eddy Diffusivity in the Halocline of the Beaufort Gyre
Using Ekman pumping rates mediated by sea ice in the Arctic Ocean's Beaufort Gyre (BG), the magnitude of lateral eddy diffusivities required to balance downward pumping is inferred. In this limit-that of vanishing residual-mean circulation-eddy-induced upwelling exactly balances downward pumpin...
