Rescaled height coordinates for accurate representation of free-surface flows in ocean circulation models (2004, background): “…disadvantages, and that no single coordinate system is absolutely perfect for all applications, efforts are now underway to create generalized and hybrid coordinate models that can employ the appropriate coordinate in different regions of the ocean (Bleck, 2002; Song, submitted for publication).”

Fundamentals of Ocean Climate Models (2004, methodology): “Alternative efforts aim towards a hybrid vertical coordinate in which a pressure-coordinate is used for the PBL, an isopycnal-like coordinate is used for the interior, and σ-coordinate is used near the bottom (Bleck, 2002).”
A multi-resolution approach to global ocean modeling (2013, background): “While this diversification is well underway with respect to the modeling of the vertical coordinate (Hallberg, 1997; Bleck, 2002), progress in developing new methods for modeling the horizontal structure of the global ocean on climate-change time scales has lagged behind.”

Lagrangian ocean analysis: Fundamentals and practices (2018, background): “It is isopycnal in the open stratified ocean, but reverts smoothly to a terrain-following coordinate in shallow coastal regions, and to pressure coordinates near the surface in the mixed layer (Bleck, 2002; Chassignet et al., 2003; 2006).”
