Equatorial Circulation of a Global Ocean Climate Model with Anisotropic Horizontal Viscosity (2001, background): “Such resolutions have only been configured for regional domains (e.g., Smith et al. 2000) and are not practical for global climate applications.”
Ridging, strength, and stability in high-resolution sea ice models (2007, background): “These small scales are necessary to resolve mesoscale eddies in the ocean [Smith et al., 2000] and detailed features of sea ice motion [e.g., Maslowski and Lipscomb, 2003].”
Impact of partial steps and momentum advection schemes in a global ocean circulation model at eddy-permitting resolution (2006, result): “Note, however, that in a regional simulation of the North Atlantic carried out with the POP model at 1/10° resolution by Smith et al. (2000), the path of the Gulf Stream was quite realistic and the distribution of eke was very comparable to the one observed from satellite.”
Three‐dimensional reconstruction of oceanic mesoscale currents from surface information (2008, background): “The POP model at 1/10◦ [Smith et al., 2000; Bryan et al., 2007] is suitable for this type of study because it is forced with realistic winds and heat fluxes and”
An eddy-permitting model of the Atlantic circulation: evaluating open boundary conditions (2001, unknown): “…Ocean, which has been modeled as a closed basin with some success: the Community Modeling Effort (CME) experiments [Bryan et al., 1995], the Dynamics of North Atlantic Models (DYNAMO) experiments [Willebrand et al., 2001], and recent high resolution models [Smith et al., 2000; Paiva et al., 1999].”
Developments in ocean climate modelling (2000, unknown): “Recent Atlantic simulations indicate that upwards of 1/10°±1/12° Mercator resolution may be necessary for Gulf Stream modelling (Bryan and Smith, 1999; Smith et al., 2000; Chassignet et al., 2000; Paiva et al., 2000).”
Improved Atlantic winter blocking in a climate model (2011, background): “This error is common in models at this resolution [e.g., Danabasoglu et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2000] and is due to a southward bias in the North Atlantic Current (Figure 1a).”
Recent advances in observing mesoscale ocean dynamics with satellite altimetry (2012, methodology): “Le Traon and Dibarboure (2002) provided a summary of the mapping capabilities of the T/P + ERS (Jason1 + ENVISAT) configuration, using realistic simulations from the eddy-resolving 1/10 Los Alamos POP Model (Smith et al., 2000).”
A Triply Nested Ocean Model for Simulating the Kuroshio—Roles of Horizontal Resolution on JEBAR (2003, background): “Recently, Smith et al. (2000) also showed the importance of high resolution in simulations of the Gulf Stream.”
The Role of Bottom Vortex Stretching on the Path of the North Atlantic Western Boundary Current and on the Northern Recirculation Gyre (2007, background): “1° horizontal resolution models (Smith et al. 2000), which might seem to imply that fully eddy-resolving models may be necessary to get proper separation, but we shall offer an alternative explanation.”
A multi-resolution approach to global ocean modeling (2013, methodology): “Following Smith et al. (2000) and Hecht et al. (2008), we scale the biharmonic viscosity parameter as ðDxÞ3, 4 In the Boussinesq system, conservation of density-weighted tracer substance reduces to conservation of volume-weighted tracer substance. with a baseline value of 5.0e10 m4/s at a grid…”
Wind Stress Dependence on Ocean Surface Velocity: Implications for Mechanical Energy Input to Ocean Circulation (2006, result): “Except for a time-mean meridional velocity that is too large, model statistics seem reasonably close to observations and to simulations in more realistic settings (e.g., Smith et al. 2000; Capotondi et al. 1995).”
