In situ measurements of the diffusive boundary layer (DBL) and bottom boundary layer (BBL) under different dynamic and oxygen environments in three coastal seas are analyzed. Previous scaling methods for the DBL thickness (dDBL) are summarized. Three methods that lead to consistent dimensions at both sides of the derived relationships have all been rooted in the Batchelor length scale. The method representing the Batchelor length scale as a function of flow speed (U) is found to be the most appropriate for scaling dDBL when the law of wall applies. Diffusive flux is controlled by the dynamic-forced dDBL and the difference in oxygen concentration over the DBL (DC). Values of DC could be scaled using the oxygen concentration of the BBL (CBBL) and the normalized benthic temperature. An effective method is developed for scaling the diffusive flux based on measurements of benthic temperature, salinity, U, CBBL, and the estimation of bottom roughness. The scaling of dDBL based mainly on U and the scaling of diffusive flux well fit data from the three sites, despite their distinct differences in dynamic and oxygen environments. Ó 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
