Exploring Viscosity Space in an Eddy‐Permitting Global Ocean Model: Is Viscosity a Useful Control for Numerical Mixing?

Abstract A generic shortcoming of constant‐depth (or “z‐coordinate”) ocean models such as MOM5 and Nucleus for European Models of the Ocean (NEMO) is a tendency for the advection scheme to produce unphysical numerical diapycnal mixing, which may exceed the explicitly parameterized mixing based on ob...
