34. Horizontal SGS options

The purpose of this chapter is to document the options in MOM which parameterize horizontal mixing of momentum and tracers. The mixing tensor in this chapter is aligned parallel to the geopotential. Chapter 34 discusses options which orient the tracer mixing tensor according to locally defined neutral directions.
