Ocean Kinetic Energy Backscatter Parametrization on Unstructured Grids: Impact on Global Eddy‐Permitting Simulations
Abstract In this study we demonstrate the potential of a kinetic energy backscatter scheme for use in global ocean simulations. Ocean models commonly employ (bi)harmonic eddy viscosities causing excessive dissipation of kinetic energy in eddy‐permitting simulations. Overdissipation not only affects...
