Turbulent diapycnal fluxes as a pilot Essential Ocean Variable

by Le Boyer A, Couto N, Alford MH, Drake HF, Bluteau CE, Hughes KG, Naveira Garabato AC, Moulin AJ, Peacock T, Fine EC, Mashayek A, Cimoli L, Meredith MP, Melet A, Fer I, Dengler M and Stevens CL (2023). Front. Mar. Sci. 10:1241023. doi: 10.3389/fmars.2023.1241023

Error in Figure/Table

In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The equations for eddy diffusion coefficients K_T, K_S, and K_ρ in the “Mathematical Definition” column wrongly all began with K_ρ. The corrected Table 1 and its caption “b is buoyancy; q is enthalpy; S is the salinity concentration; and C is an arbitrary scalar tracer concentration. u′,v′,w′ are microscale perturbations of ocean velocities. ρ is the water density. g is the gravitational constant. N is the buoyancy frequency. c_p is the water thermal capacity. θ is the potential temperature. k₀,k_c represents the wavenumber range for spectral integration. ${\varphi }_{u_z }$ and ${\varphi }_{{\theta }_z}$ are the spectra of vertical shear and temperature gradient.” appear below.
