A Kinematic Kinetic Energy Backscatter Parametrization: From Implementation to Global Ocean Simulations
Abstract Ocean models at eddy‐permitting resolution are generally overdissipative, damping the intensity of the mesoscale eddy field. To reduce overdissipation, we propose a simplified, kinematic energy backscatter parametrization built into the viscosity operator in conjunction with a new flow‐depe...
