ocean_tracer_laplacian_diffusivity_due_to_parameterized_mesoscale_eddy_advection

Diffusivity is also sometimes known as the coefficient of diffusion. Diffusion occurs as a result of a gradient in the spatial distribution of mass concentration, temperature or momentum. The diffusivity may be very different in the vertical and horizontal directions. "laplacian diffusivity" means diffusivity for use with a Laplacian diffusion operator.

    ocean_tracer_bolus_laplacian_diffusivity

    Diffusivity is also sometimes known as the coefficient of diffusion. Diffusion occurs as a result of a gradient in the spatial distribution of mass concentration, temperature or momentum. The diffusivity may be very different in the vertical and horizontal directions. "Bolus diffusivity" means a lateral diffusivity. "laplacian diffusivity" means diffusivity for use with a Laplacian diffusion operator.
