Diffusivities over “Rough” Topography East of Mascarene Plateau<br />

Central<br />

West<br />

East<br />

In particular, diffusivities<br />

are much higher<br />

<strong>in</strong> topographic troughs or<br />

canyons than on ridges/<br />

crests.<br />

(The plots show mix<strong>in</strong>g<br />

estimates from 5 or 6<br />

“dips” with the CTD at each<br />

of two stations).<br />

Note the roughness of the<br />

topography - typical scales<br />

of 10-20 km.
