The radial offset by diffusion (ROD) method

The radial offset by diffusion (ROD) approach uses the radial deviations between actual drifters and numerical simulated drifters to compute horizontal diffusivities. These radial distances are assumed to respond to subgrid processes not considered by the numerical circulation models. For further de...

Description
Summary:The radial offset by diffusion (ROD) approach uses the radial deviations between actual drifters and numerical simulated drifters to compute horizontal diffusivities. These radial distances are assumed to respond to subgrid processes not considered by the numerical circulation models.
