Comparison of proposed and currently used estimates of near-field tidal mixing. a Distribution of energy dissipation as a function of seafloor depth for the three estimates: (black) our proposed estimate, \(E_{{\mathrm{all}}}^{4 - \infty }\); (dark grey) ENEMO, based on Nycander’s estimate of energy conversion and used in the NEMO model; and (light grey) ECCSM, based on Jayne and St Laurent’s estimate and used in the CCSM4 model. Maps of b \(E_{{\mathrm{all}}}^{4 - \infty }\), and the ratio our estimate to the currently used ones, c \(E_{{\mathrm{all}}}^{4 - \infty }/E_{{\mathrm{NEMO}}}\) and d \(E_{{\mathrm{all}}}^{4 - \infty }/E_{{\mathrm{CCSM}}}\)
