TLDR
In this article, the first baroclinic deformation radius to the horizontal grid spacing indicates where an ocean model could explicitly simulate eddy effects; a function of this ratio can be used to specify where eddy effect are parameterized and where they are explicitly modeled.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al. (2010), and summarize new developments in ocean modeling, including: how new and existing observations can be used, what modeling challenges remain, and how simulations can also be used to support observations.

The Contribution of Submesoscale over Mesoscale Eddy Iron Transport in the Open Southern Ocean
Takaya Uchida,Dhruv Balwada,Ryan Abernathey,Ryan Abernathey,Galen A. McKinley,Galen A. McKinley,K. Shafer Smith,Marina Lévy +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of ocean dynamics in supplying iron, the limiting nutrient in the open Southern Ocean, to the surface where it can be effectively utilized for photosynthesis was examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mesoscale eddies and boundary currents in the surface ocean field can play an important role in air-sea interaction associated with vertical motion and vertical motion.

A Southern Ocean mode of multidecadal variability
TL;DR: A 250-year simulation of a strongly eddying global version of the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model reveals a new mode of intrinsic multidecadal variability, the Southern Ocean Mode (SOM), with a period of 40-50 years as discussed by the authors.

Biogeochemical Role of Subsurface Coherent Eddies in the Ocean: Tracer Cannonballs, Hypoxic Storms, and Microbial Stewpots?
Ivy Frenger,Daniele Bianchi,Carolin Stührenberg,Andreas Oschlies,Andreas Oschlies,John P. Dunne,Curtis Deutsch,Eric D. Galbraith,Eric D. Galbraith,Florian Schütte +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a global eddying (0.1° ) ocean-biogeochemical model to carry out a census of subsurface coherent eddies originating from eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS), and quantify their biogeochemical effects as they propagate westward into the subtropical gyres.

Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how the Ocean-Atmosphere system is driven by transfer of properties between the atmosphere and the ocean. But they do not consider the effects of side boundaries.

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.
