Diapycnal Diffusivity

AbstractThe nominal spatial distribution of diapycnal mixing in the South China Sea (SCS) is obtained with Thorpe-scale analysis from 2004 to 2020. The inferred dissipation rate ε and diapycnal diffusivity Kz between 100 and 1500 m indicated that the strongest mixing occurred in the Luzon Strait and Dongsha Plateau regions, with ε ~ 3.0 × 10-8 W/kg (εmax = 5.3 × 10-6 W/kg) and Kz ~ 3.5 × 10-4 m2/s (Kz max = 4.2 = 10-2 m2/s). The weakest mixing occurred in the thermocline of the central basin, with ε ~ 6.2 × 10-10 W/kg and Kz ~ 3.7 × 10-6 m2/s. The ε and Kz in the continental slope indicated that the mixing in the northern part [O(10-8) W/kg, O(10-4) m2/s] was comparatively stronger than that in the Xisha and Nansha regions [O(10-9) W/kg, O(10-5) m2/s]. The Kz in the continental slope region (200–2000 m) decayed at a closed rate from the ocean bottom to the main thermocline when the measured depth D was normalized by the ocean depth H as D/H, whether in the shallow or deep oceans. The diapycnal diffusivity was parameterized as Kz = 3.3 × 10−4 (1 + )−2 − 6.0 × 10−6 m2/s. The vertically integrated energy dissipation was nominally as 15.8 mW/m2 for all data and 25.6 mW/m2 for data at stations H < 2000 m. This was about one order higher than that in the open oceans (3.0–3.3 mW/m2), which confirmed the active mixing state in the SCS.
