Description:"As a result of the experimental run of J. Sela's spectral model model (30 wave) on the case of 17 Feb 77 (x-contour flow near Hawaii), it appears desirable to use a diffusion operation in the equations. Past experience with the LFM has indicated the desirability of using a non-Fickian form of diffusion, i.e. a form in which the diffusion coefficient is a function of wavelength. Such a formulation is readily developed in a spectral model. In this note, we work out an appropriate value for the diffusion; such that it simulates the behavior of the LFM (see Office Note 129), or attains a maximum consistent value"--Introduction.
