Short summary
For the first time, the authors show that, by using the similarity theory, the same formula can be obtained for the eddy diffusion coefficient as the commonly used formula derived by J. Weinstock. Our results also explain the discrepancy between the large cooling rates calculated by the authors and the temperatures given by the MSIS-E-90 model.
