Mesoscale Variability in an Eddy-Resolving Global POP Simulation
In the past decade, supercomputing capabilities have increased to the point whereby numerical global ocean models can be run at sufficiently high vertical and horizontal resolution to be eddy-resolving (horizontal resolutions of 5-10 km and 40-50 levels) rather than eddy-permitting (35-40 km and 20-...
