In this study, we use an ocean model to explore how vertical mixing influences temperature in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Our approach is to change the background diffusion coefficient from a constant value κ b to κb+δκ(z) in various subregions of the tropical Pacific, and then to determine the resulting temperature changes in the near-equilibrium response. In a companion paper (Furue...
We investigate the sensitivity of numerical-model solutions to regional changes in vertical diffusion. Specifically, we vary the background diffusion coefficient, κ b , within spatially distinct subregions of the tropical Pacific, assess the impacts of those changes, and diagnose the processes that account for them. Solutions respond to a diffusion anomaly, δκ b , in three ways. Initially,...
