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:

Development and validation of a global 1∕32° surface-wave–tide–circulation coupled ocean model: FIO-COM32
TL;DR: In this paper , a new global surface-wave-tide-circulation coupled ocean model FIO-COM32 with a resolution of 1/32∘×1/32 ∘ is developed and validated.

Impact of ocean heat transport on Arctic sea ice variability in the GFDL CM2‐O model suite
TL;DR: In this article , the impact of horizontal resolution on meridional Ocean Heat Transport (OHT) and sea ice in the Arctic was investigated using the GFDL CM2-O climate model suite (1°, 1/4°, and 1/10°) in both preindustrial control and climate change simulations.
The role of asymmetries in Nordic Seas dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on an area where a large part of this transformation from light to dense watermasses takes place; the Nordic Seas, located between Greenland and Norway and consist of several sub-basins, like the Lofoten Basin, the Greenland Basin and the Norwegian Basin.

Intrinsic Oceanic Decadal Variability of Upper-Ocean Heat Content
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the output from a global ocean--sea ice circulation model at three different horizontal resolutions, each driven by the same atmospheric reanalysis, to disentangle the variability of the ocean's direct response to atmospheric forcing from the variability due to intrinsic ocean dynamics.

Subsurface Initiation of Deep Convection near Maud Rise
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use model output of a century long high-resolution climate model simulation to explain the differences between the 2016 and 2017 Maud Rise polynyas, and argue that subsurface convection is important to initiate a Maud rise polynya event.

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.

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a quasigeostrophic motion of a Stratified Fluid on a Sphere (SFL) on a sphere, which is based on an Inviscid Shallow-Water Theory.

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.

Geographical Variability of the First Baroclinic Rossby Radius of Deformation
TL;DR: In this paper, the first baroclinic gravity-wave phase speed c1 and the Rossby radius of deformation l1 are computed from climatological average temperature and salinity profiles.
