Despite many years of intensive research into turbulent diffusion, however, our. The new criterion is applied to the analysis of some published experimental data. Nobel, in physicochemical and environmental plant physiology fourth edition, 2009. Eddy diffusion, eddy dispersion, multipath, or turbulent diffusion is any diffusion process by. Variances add1, for certain independent processes which, by virtue of an elementary random event, contribute directly to the variance. The modeling of the eddy diffusion coefficients also known as eddy diffusivity in the firstorder turbulence closure schemes is important for the typhoon simulations, since the coefficients control the magnitude of the sensible heat flux and the latent heat flux, which are energy sources for the typhoon intensification. An analysis of previously published formulae for these stability functions shows that they are not consistent with observed values for the ratio between nonneutral and neutral values of the vertical eddy diffusion coefficients ueda et al.
