Hi,

Where can i find the current form of Smagorinsky's diffusion formula that is used in oceanic models ? I am reading the paper "GENERAL CIRCULATION EXPERIMENTS WITH THE PRIMITIVE EQUATIONS. I THE BASIC EXPERIMENT" and i can't find it. The paper was published on Monthly Weather Review, Volume 91, Number 3 on March 1963.

PS: The formula (used in ocean models) is A_m =C \Delta x \Delta y \frac{1}{2} \left| \nabla V + \left( \nabla V \right)^T\right| where:

A_m : is the eddy viscosity coefficient

V : is the flow velocity

\Delta x: is the grid size in X

\Delta y: is the grid size in Y

C: is a coefficient taken as 0.2
