| Diapycnal eddy diffusivity (for buoyancy) is defined from the buoyancy flux [math]\displaystyle{ \overline{w'\rho'} }[/math] |
This is the common definition for Diapycnal eddy diffusivity, but other definitions maybe discussed within the wiki.
Osborn 1980 showed that [math]\displaystyle{ K_\rho =\frac{\bar{w'\rho'}}{\partial \rho/\partial z}\Gamma \epsilon N^{-2} }[/math]
