Abstract
We carried out several tests without an OGCM. Prandtl and flux Richardson numbers vs. Ri. The RSM model reproduces both types of data satisfactorily. DD and Mixing efficiency Îh(Ri, RÏ). The RSM model reproduces well the NATRE data. Bimodal ε-distribution. NATRE data show that ε(Ri < 1) â 10ε(Ri > 1), which our model reproduces. Heat to salt flux ratio. In the Ri â«Â 1 regime, the RSM predictions reproduce the data satisfactorily. NATRE mass diffusivity. The z-profile of the mass diffusivity reproduces well the measurements at NATRE. The local form of the mixing scheme is algebraic with one cubic equation to solve.
