TLDR
In this paper, a global ocean circulation model, forced to least-square consistency with modern data, is used to find lower bounds for the time taken by surface-injected passive tracers to reach equilibrium.About:

Reviews and syntheses: parameter identification in marine planktonic ecosystem modelling
Markus Schartau,Philip Wallhead,John C. P. Hemmings,John C. P. Hemmings,Ulrike Löptien,Iris Kriest,Shubham Krishna,Ben A. Ward,Thomas Slawig,Andreas Oschlies +9 more
TL;DR: This review explores how problems in parameter identification are approached in marine planktonic ecosystem modelling, and provides background information about model uncertainties and estimation methods, and how these are considered for assessing misfits between observations and model results.

Tracing time in the ocean: a brief review of chronological constraints (60–8 kyr) on North Atlantic marine event-based stratigraphies
TL;DR: In this paper, a new protocol for establishing marine event-based chronostratigraphies in the North Atlantic region was proposed, focusing on areas of chronological potential in palaeoceanographic research.

Jenne,Dennis Joseph +21 more
TL;DR: The NCEP/NCAR 40-yr reanalysis uses a frozen state-of-the-art global data assimilation system and a database as complete as possible, except that the horizontal resolution is T62 (about 210 km) as discussed by the authors.

Oceanic vertical mixing: A review and a model with a nonlocal boundary layer parameterization
TL;DR: In this article, a new parameterization of oceanic boundary layer mixing is developed to accommodate some of this physics, including a scheme for determining the boundary layer depth h, where the turbulent contribution to the vertical shear of a bulk Richardson number is parameterized.

Isopycnal mixing in ocean circulation models
TL;DR: In this paper, a subgrid-scale form for mesoscale eddy mixing on isopycnal surfaces is proposed for use in non-eddy-resolving ocean circulation models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A finite-volume, incompressible Navier Stokes model for studies of the ocean on parallel computers
TL;DR: A preconditioner is used which, in the hydrostatic limit, is an exact integral of the Poisson operator and so leads to a single algorithm that seamlessly moves from nonhydrostatic to hydrostatic limits, competitive with the fastest ocean climate models in use today.
