Parameterizing the Impact of Unresolved Temperature Variability on the Large‐Scale Density Field: Part 1. Theory.

Abstract Unresolved temperature and salinity fluctuations interact with a nonlinear seawater equation of state to produce significant errors in the ocean model evaluation of the large‐scale density field. It is shown that the impact of temperature fluctuations dominates the impact of salinity fluctu...
