Suppression of Eddy Diffusivity across Jets in the Southern Ocean (2010, methodology): “Abernathey et al. (2010) suggested that the equatorward enhancement is associated with critical layers at the edge of the ACC, a result observed in atmospheric jets (Randel and Held 1991; d’Ovidio et al. 2009).”
The Dependence of Southern Ocean Meridional Overturning on Wind Stress (2011, background): “…the modulation of Le by the presence of mean flows, and there is indeed mounting evidence that the spatial variations in K in the Southern Ocean are modulated by the strong jets found there (Marshall et al. 2006; Smith and Marshall 2009; Abernathey et al. 2010; Naveira Garabato et al. 2011).”
Global Patterns of Mesoscale Eddy Properties and Diffusivities (2014, methodology): “…accurate method has been developed that uses real surface velocities (as observed by satellite) in combination with simulated passive tracers to infer eddy diffusivities (Marshall et al. 2006; Abernathey et al. 2010; Ferrari and Nikurashin 2010; Klocker et al. 2012b; Abernathey and Marshall 2013).”
