Short definition of Diapycnal eddy diffusivity (Diapycnal eddy diffusivity Kρ)
Diapycnal eddy diffusivity (for buoyancy) is defined from the buoyancy flux Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \bar{w'\rho'{}

This is the common definition for Diapycnal eddy diffusivity, but other definitions may be discussed within the wiki.



Osborn 1980 showed that Kρ=wρ¯ρ/zΓϵN2
