Calculated eddy diffusion coefficient (Kzz) profiles using Eq. (1). The average eddy diffusion coefficient at pressure higher than 1 bar roughly follows a simple relation as log10(Kzz) = 5.5–1.7log10(pgas). Above this pressure and on the dayside, Kzz has average values about 2 × 107cm2s−1 (vertical reddashed line), and it is weaker by about one order of magnitude on the nightside (vertical blue dashed line).
