Error in Figure/Table
In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The equations for eddy diffusion coefficients KT, KS, and Kρ in the “Mathematical Definition” column wrongly all began with Kρ. The corrected Table 1 and its caption “b is buoyancy; q is enthalpy; S is the salinity concentration; and C is an arbitrary scalar tracer concentration. u′,v′,w′ are microscale perturbations of ocean velocities. ρ is the water density. g is the gravitational constant. N is the buoyancy frequency. cp is the water thermal capacity. θ is the potential temperature. k0,kc represents the wavenumber range for spectral integration. and are the spectra of vertical shear and temperature gradient.” appear below.

Ocean Turbulent Mixing variable and its sub-variables.
b is buoyancy; q is enthalpy; S is the salinity concentration; and C is an arbitrary scalar tracer concentration. u′,v′,w′ are microscale perturbations of ocean velocities. ρ is the water density. g is the gravitational constant. N is the buoyancy frequency. cp is the water thermal capacity. θ is the potential temperature. k0,kc represents the wavenumber range for spectral integration. and are the spectra of vertical shear and temperature gradient.
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
