Global General Circulation of the Ocean Estimated by the ECCO-Consortium (2009, methodology): “In addition, many special experimental calculations have been done, for example, treating bottom topography as a control parameter (Losch and Heimbach, 2007), adjusting eddy stress coefficients (Ferreira et al., 2005) and mixing parameters (Stammer, 2005), and testing the consequences of assuming ne”

The Dependence of Southern Ocean Meridional Overturning on Wind Stress (2011, background): “In the real ocean, in contrast, topographic form drag is believed to balance the wind stress (Munk and Palmén 1951; Johnson and Bryden 1989; Hughes 1997; Olbers 1998; Ferreira et al. 2005).”
Parameterization of Eddy Fluxes near Oceanic Boundaries (2008, methodology): “These schemes can be extended to account more accurately for eddy momentum fluxes (Wardle and Marshall 2000; Smith and McWilliams 2003; Plumb and Ferrari 2005; Ferreira et al. 2005), but experience with these extensions in OGCMs is still limited.”

(2005), were added to the model.”
Global Patterns of Mesoscale Eddy Properties and Diffusivities (2014, background): “…and eddy-resolving models has revealed strong spatial variability in mesoscale eddy mixing rates (Holloway 1986; Stammer 1998; Zhang et al. 2001; Zhurbas and Oh 2003, 2004; Ferreira et al. 2005; Marshall et al. 2006; Rypina et al. 2012; Fox-Kemper et al. 2013; Abernathey and Marshall 2013).”
