The effects of subgrid-scale parameterizations in a zonally averaged ocean model ...
Isopycnal diffusion and an additional transport velocity parameterizing the effect of mesoscale eddies are implemented in the ocean component of a 2.5-dimensional zonally averaged coupled ocean–atmosphere model. The equilibrium states of the coupled ocean–atmosphere model, resulting from the differe...
