Diagnostics of isopycnal mixing in a circumpolar channel

Mesoscale eddies mix tracers along isopycnals and horizontally at the sea surface. This paper compares different methods of diagnosing eddy mixing rates in an idealized, eddy-resolving model of a channel flow meant to resemble the Antarctic Circumpolar Cu
