Short summary
Results from the ECCO v4 ocean state estimate identify the constraint of fitting Argo profiles as an effective observational basis for inverse estimation of regional turbulent transport rates. The estimated parameters' geography is physically plausible and exhibits close connections with the observed upper-ocean stratification. They yield a clear reduction in the model drift away from observations over multi-century-long simulations, including for independent biochemistry variables.
