Direct Estimate of Lateral Eddy Diffusivity Upstream of Drake Passage

Direct Estimate of Lateral Eddy Diffusivity Upstream of Drake Passage

The first direct estimate of the rate at which geostrophic turbulence mixes tracers across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is presented. The estimate is computed from the spreading of a tracer released upstream of Drake Passage as part of the Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southe...
