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:

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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotating-like and meandering currents that imprint the low-level atmosphere have been shown to induce a sink of mesoscale eddies in the ocean.

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.
