[MITgcm-support] How to diagnose the diapycnal diffusivity?

Thanks for you reply. Sorry for the confusion of my question. This is something I should have written more about the diapycnal diffusivity. The diffusivity I want to calculate is the diapycnal mixing ( ,unit is m^2/s), maybe can be regarded as eddy coefficient. I am not sure the  which is in the Gmredi pkg can be represented for it. There is a diagnostics option in Gmredi pkg which is called 'GM_VisbK' and this may be relate to my question.

Yang,

when you run your model with a default debugLevel (=1), then you’ll a file called “available_diagnostics.log”, that will show you all diagnostics for your particular configuration. If you have turned on GM (useGMredi=.TRUE. in data.pkg), then you the GM-diagnostics should be part of that list. I am not sure if there is a diagnostic for diapycnal diffusivity (do you mean diffusive flux?) …
