• Diurnal Coupling in the Tropical Oceans of CCSM3 (2006, methodology): “This occurs despite the weaker westward wind stress and can be partially attributed to the changes in the regional momentum balances (Large et al. 2001).”
• Relative role of dynamic and thermodynamic processes in the development of the Indian Ocean dipole: An OGCM diagnosis (2002, methodology): “Anisotropic horizontal viscosity is also employed to improve the simulation of the equatorial current system [Large et al., 2001].”
• OMIP contribution to CMIP6: experimental and diagnostic protocol for the physical component of the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (2016, background): “is a measure of the anisotropy of the viscous operator with θ an angle that sets the alignment of the generally anisotropic viscosity (Large et al., 2001; Smith and McWilliams, 2003), and dx and dy are the horizontal grid elements.”
• Fundamentals of Ocean Climate Models (2004, background): “82) This orientation has been found useful to increase the strength of the predominantly zonal equatorial currents in the Pacific (Large et al., 2001).”
• GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part III: Tropical Pacific Climate and ENSO (2006, unknown): “Subgrid-scale parameterizations include K-profile parameterization (KPP) vertical mixing (Large et al. 1994), neutral physics (Gent and McWilliams 1990; Griffies et al. 1998; Griffies 1998), and a spatially dependent anisotropic viscosity (Large et al. 2001).”
• Late Cretaceous ocean: Coupled simulations with the National Center for Atmospheric Research Climate System Model (2002, methodology): “Our version also uses a spatially varying horizontal viscosity scheme [Large et al., 2001] and an ocean background vertical diffusivity of 0.15 cm2 s 1 [Otto-Bliesner and Brady, 2001].”
• GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part II: The Baseline Ocean Simulation (2006, background): “This scheme is similar to that of Large et al. (2001), which produces large viscosity in the east–west direction, but relatively small viscosity in the north–south direction outside of boundary currents.”
