Parameterization of Mixed Layer Eddies. Part I. Theory and Diagnosis (2008, background): “As a consequence, ocean models have a bias toward weak nearsurface stratification (e.g., Oschlies 2002; Hallberg 2003; Chanut et al. 2008).”
The North Atlantic subpolar circulation in an eddy-resolving global ocean model (2015, background): “…et al., 2011) and particularly the West Greenland Current eddies that shed off Cape Desolation appear critical for preconditioning LS convection, as they contribute to the restratification of the water column in the summer months, limiting deep convection the following winter (Chanut et al., 2008).”
Causes of Interannual–Decadal Variability in the Meridional Overturning Circulation of the Midlatitude North Atlantic Ocean (2008, background): “An aspect of particular concern is the representation of the (sub-) mesoscale flow features that govern, for example, the exchanges between the deep-water formation sites and the boundary currents (Houghton and Visbeck 2002; Eden and Böning 2002; Brandt et al. 2004; Chanut et al. 2008) and the equat”
