eddy conductivity. The exchange coefficient for the transfer of heat by eddies in turbulent flow, i.e. eddy heat flux. 3, record 1, English, - eddy%20conduction%20coefficient

eddy heat flux: In physical oceanography, the total meridional heat transport due to mesoscale eddies. This has also been used to refer to the correlation of time-dependent fluctuations of velocity and temperature across a section, which is not indicative of the total heat transport due to eddies. 3, record 1, English, - eddy%20conduction%20coefficient

La mer échange de la chaleur avec l'atmosphère par contact. La chaleur cédée (ou reçue) par la mer est fonction du gradient vertical de température dans l'air : K: coefficient de conductivité thermique de l'air, Cp : chaleur spécifique de l'air à pression constante. Si l'air est stationnaire, la conduction est due aux mouvements aléatoires des molécules et K est la conductivité thermique moléculaire (caractéristique de l'air à une température donnée). Mais l'air est en mouvement ce qui accroît les échanges de chaleur, ce mouvement a un caractère turbulent et K est alors le coefficient de conductivité turbulente de la chaleur (caractéristique de l'écoulement). 2, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20conductivit%C3%A9%20turbulente
