Variational Data Assimilation for the Global Ocean (2013, background): “Hurlburt et al.(2008a) gives a good discussion of the requirements for an ocean model to be eddy-resolving.”
Modulation of Wind-Work by Oceanic Current Interaction with the Atmosphere (2016, methodology): “As in Marchesiello et al. (2003), the baroclinic instability and the eddy wind work are the main sources of EKE, and they have higher values in the nearshore region.”
Challenges in Climate Science and Contemporary Applied Mathematics (2012, background): “Eddy-permitting simulations for ocean-only process studies are now becoming common [48], but even these leave a vast frontier of scales, from order 50 km down to the 10 m scale where inertial range turbulence finally takes over, almost completely unaddressed.”
Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, background): “There are many other aspects of the ‘life cycle’ of SMC coherent structures and their associated finer scale turbulence and their effects on material c transport and mixing in the ocean [63].”
A Framework for Parameterizing Eddy Potential Vorticity Fluxes (2012, background): “To obtain plausible turbulent cascades of dynamic and passive tracers, it is necessary for models to resolve spatial scales of at least an order of magnitude higher, with grid spacings of 10 km if not finer (Hecht and Smith 2008).”
Mesoscale to submesoscale wavenumber spectra in Drake Passage (2016, unknown): “These ﬂows scale roughly with mixed layer deformation radius (Thomas et al. 2008).”
