摘要

Argo floats cannot be regarded as true Lagrangian drifters because they periodically rise to the surface. Hence, previous estimates of eddy diffusivity at depth using single-particle statistics have been limited to one submerged cycle. However, unless the Lagrangian time scale is significantly shorter than the Argo cycle time, this single-particle calculation can have a large bias. Here, eddy diffusivity computed from single-particle statistics using Argo data is compared to that computed by assuming that Eulerian scales at depth are the same as at the surface, and that the relationship between Lagrangian and Eulerian time scales derived by Middleton is valid. If the methods provide the same answer, one can have confidence in both methods. Eddy diffusivity calculated from the single-particle statistics shows the same spatial structure as that computed from inferred time scale, but is smaller by a factor of about 2. It is suggested that this is because the deep Lagrangian time scale over much of the region is comparable to, or longer than, the 10-day Argo submergence cycle.
