Eddy viscosity

Meteorology EcologyEkman layer

Eddy viscosity Frictional resistance arising from eddies (irregular whirls) within a fluid such as air or water.

 


where νT is the eddy viscosity, 2S0 and 1/2β are the surface value and e-folding depth of the Stokes's drift current, respectively, and u* is the friction velocity.
