The zonally averaged transport characteristics of the GFDL general circulation/ transport model.

Abstract

The GFDL general circulation/tracer model has been used to generate the transport coefficients required in 2D (zonally averaged) transport formulations. This was done by assuming a flux-gradient relationship and then, given gradient and flux statistics from 2 independent (and contrived) model tracer experiments, to derive the coefficients by inversion of this relation. -from Authors
