Using a resolution function to regulate parameterizations of oceanic mesoscale eddy effects

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.

Simulating the Agulhas system in global ocean models – nesting vs. multi-resolution unstructured meshes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare two approaches: a high-resolution grid nested into a global model at coarser resolution (NEMO with AGRIF) and an unstructured-mesh grid (FESOM) which allows to variably enhance resolution where desired.

Ocean Heat Content Reveals Secrets of Fish Migrations.

TL;DR: The OHC-based movement track provided the first quantitative evidence that many of the tagged highly migratory fishes displayed affinities for ocean fronts and eddies, and provides a new quantitative tool for studying dynamic use of ocean habitats, migration processes and responses to environmental changes by fishes.

Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics

A.E. Gill
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.
