turbulent mixing across surfaces of constant density, measured as an effective diffusivity and needed to close the deep overturning.

In physical oceanography, diapycnal mixing refers to turbulent mixing across surfaces of constant density, measured as an effective diffusivity and needed to close the deep overturning. This meaning comes from Ledwell (1993) in Nature.[1]
