This paper uses Lagrangian statistics—absolute dispersion, pair dispersion, and particle
forecasting—to compare four eddy‐permitting models of idealized mesoscale ocean …

Any type of non-buoyant material in the ocean is transported horizontally by currents during
its sinking journey. This lateral transport can be far from negligible for small sinking …

We present a new energy backscatter parametrization for primitive equation ocean models
at eddy-permitting resolution, specifically for unstructured grids. Traditional eddy …

The mixing of tracers by mesoscale eddies, parameterized in many ocean general
circulation models (OGCMs) as a diffusive‐advective process, contributes significantly to the …

An accurate estimation of Lagrangian transport in the ocean is important for a number of
practical problems such as dispersion of pollutants, biological species, and sediments …

In order to determine the effect of Eulerian spatial resolution on the two particle statistics of
synthetic drifter trajectories, we examine a hierarchy of ocean models, starting from 2D …

Lateral mesoscale eddy-induced tracer transport is traditionally represented in coarse-
resolution models by the flux–gradient relation. In its most complete form, the relation …

The parameterization of the effect of the unresolved scales of motion on a passive tracer
field in large-scale numerical ocean models is analyzed through a combination of …

Mesoscale eddies stir along the neutral plane, and the resulting neutral diffusion is a
fundamental aspect of subgrid‐scale tracer transport in ocean models. Calculating neutral …

Ocean models at eddy‐permitting resolution are generally overdissipative, damping the
intensity of the mesoscale eddy field. To reduce overdissipation, we propose a simplified …
