Validation of Thorpe-scale-derived vertical diffusivities against microstructure measurements in the Kerguelen region
The Thorpe scale is an energy-containing vertical overturning scale of large eddies associated with shear-generated turbulence. This study investigates indirect estimates of vertical diffusivities from the Thorpe scale method in the polar front region east of the Kerguelen Islands based on fine-scal...
