Description
Summary:Idealized and comprehensive ocean models at low resolutions cannot reproduce nominally-resolved flow structures similar to those presented in the high-resolution solution. Although there are various underlying physical reasons for this, from the dynamical system point of view all these reasons manifest themselves as a low-resolution trajectory avoiding the phase space occupied by the reference solution (the high-resolution solution projected onto the coarse grid). In order to solve this problem, a set of hyper-parameterization methods has recently been proposed and successfully tested on idealized ocean models. In this work, for the first time we apply one of hyper-parameterization methods (Advection of the image point) to a comprehensive, rather than idealized, general circulation model of the North Atlantic. The results show that the hyper-parameterization method significantly improves a non-eddy-resolving solution towards the reference eddy-resolving solution by reproducing both the large- and small-scale ...
