Mesoscale and submesoscale ocean eddies resolved by different resolution Earth system models

Caption

a and b) Spatial distributions of eddy centroids for Anticyclonic Eddies (AEs) (red) and Cyclonic Eddies (CEs) (blue) with amplitude > .05 m, detected from a) TS015 (panel a) and TS003 (panel b) models, and c) histogram of eddy radius constructed from TS015, TS010 and TS003 for the last year of 3-year model spinup. Red and blue bars stand for AEs and CEs, respectively. The radius range in 50-100 km (denoted by the red box) is zoomed-in the upper-right corner.
