Parameterization of Mixed Layer Eddies. Part I. Theory and Diagnosis

TL;DR: In this paper, an overturning stream function is proposed to tilting isopycnals from the vertical to the horizontal, which is proportional to the product of the horizontal density gradient, the mixed layer depth squared, and the inertial period.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Eddies in Determining the Structure and Response of the Wind-Driven Southern Hemisphere Overturning: Results from the Modeling Eddies in the Southern Ocean (MESO) Project

TL;DR: The Modeling Eddies in the Southern Ocean (MESO) project uses numerical sensitivity studies to examine the role played by Southern Ocean winds and eddies in determining the density structure of the global ocean and the magnitude and structure of global overturning circulation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biharmonic Friction with a Smagorinsky-Like Viscosity for Use in Large-Scale Eddy-Permitting Ocean Models

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical closure motivated from the ideas of Smagorinsky was discussed for use with a biharmonic operator for large scale-selective, state-dependent friction operator for use in eddy-permitting geophysical fluid models.
