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.
