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:

The impact of horizontal atmospheric resolution in modelling air–sea heat fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, the same atmospheric configuration of the Met Office Hadley Centre climate model, forced with observed sea-surface temperatures (SST) and at three different horizontal model resolutions (approximately 130, 60 and 25 km), were used to test the sensitivity of air-sea surface heat and moisture fluxes.

Deterministic model of the eddy dynamics for a midlatitude ocean model
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-geostrophic model at mesoscale-resolving resolution in a double gyre configuration is proposed to solve the sub-grid eddy PV equation prognostically in addition to the mean PV.

On the Importance of High-Resolution in Large-Scale Ocean Models
Eric P. Chassignet,Xiaobiao Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of North and Equatorial Atlantic configurations are used to show that an increase of the horizontal resolution from eddy-resolving to sub-mesoscale-enabled together with the inclusion of high-resolution bathymetry and tides significantly improved the models' abilities to represent the observed ocean variability and western boundary currents.

The Atlantic's freshwater budget under climate change in the Community Earth System Model with strongly eddying oceans
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the freshwater budget of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans in coupled climate change simulations with the Community Earth System Model and compare a strongly eddying setup with 0.1 ∘ ocean grid spacing to a non-eddying 1 ∘ configuration typical of Coupled model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) models.

Toward science-oriented validations of coastal altimetry: Application to the Ligurian Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary contribution to the European Space Agency's efforts aimed at establishing reference in situ networks specifically targeted to validate coastal altimetry is presented. But the main objectives of the study were to assess improved coastal oriented validation strategies, including the usage of a new in situ platform (Moving Vessel Profiler), while better understanding potential differences owing to physical content inconsistency and instrumental or data processing limitations.

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.
