Diapycnal mixing

#1 Unread post by peisach »

I notice ROMS offers the option of 'horizontal' diffusion of T and S along constant rho surfaces, i.e. what I would (somewhat sloppily?) call 'isopycnal' mixing. Is there a way to operate with mixing across rho surfaces, i.e. 'diapycnal' mixing (instead of vertical mixing)?

Tnx, Paal Erik
