Using a resolution function to regulate parameterizations of oceanic mesoscale eddy effects
Robert Hallberg,Robert Hallberg +1 more
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, a suite of centennial-scale 1990 radiatively forced numerical climate simulations from three GFDL coupled models comprising the Climate Model, version 2.0-Ocean (CM2-O), model suite is used to characterize impacts on heat in the ocean climate system from transient ocean mesoscale eddies.

An Energy-Constrained Parameterization of Eddy Buoyancy Flux
TL;DR: In this article, a parameterization for eddy buoyancy fluxes for use in coarse-grid models is developed and tested against eddy-resolving simulations, based on the assumption that the eddies are adiabatic (except near the surface) and the observation that the flux of buoyancy is affected by barotropic, depth-independent eddies.

A model of multiple zonal jets in the oceans : dynamical and kinematical analysis
TL;DR: In this article, multiple alternating zonal jets observed in the ocean are studied with an idealized quasigeostrophic zonal channel model, with the supercritical, zonal background flow imposed.

Effects of different closures for thickness diffusivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of spatial variations of the thickness diffusivity (K) appropriate to the parameterisation of [Gent, PR and McWilliams, JC, 1990] are assessed in a coarse resolution global ocean general circulation model using three closures yielding different lateral and/or vertical variations in K.

Reconciling estimates of the free surface height in Lagrangian vertical coordinate ocean models with mode-split time stepping
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the options for enforcing agreement between the internal and external estimates of the free surface height, along with the consequences of each choice, and suggest an optimal, essentially exact, approach.
