摘要

Recent progress in direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of stratified turbulent flows has led to increasing attention to the validity of the constancy of the dissipation flux coefficient in the Osborn's eddy diffusivity model. Motivated by lack of observational estimates of , particularly under weakly stratified deep-ocean conditions, this study estimates using deep microstructure profiles collected in various regions of the North Pacific and Southern Oceans. It is shown that is not constant but varies significantly with the Ozmidov/Thorpe scale ratio R-OT in a fashion similar to that obtained by previous DNS studies. Efficient mixing events with similar to O(1) and R-OT similar to O(0.1) tend to be frequently observed in the deep ocean (i.e., weak stratification), while moderate mixing events with similar to O(0.1) and R-OT similar to O(1) tend to be observed in the upper ocean (i.e., strong stratification). The observed negative relationship between and R-OT is consistent with a simple scaling "JPO-D-17-0275.1 that can be derived from classical turbulence theories. In contrast, the observed results exhibit no definite relationships between and the buoyancy Reynolds number Re-b, although Re-b has long been thought to be another key parameter that controls Gamma.
