Ocean models routinely used in simulations of the Earth's climate do not resolve mesoscale eddies because of the immense computational cost. A new parameterization of the effects of these eddies has been implemented in a widely used model. A comparison of its solution with that of the conventional parameterization shows significant improvements in the global temperature distribution, the poleward and surface heat fluxes, and the locations of deep-water formation.
海洋模式在模拟地球气候时通常无法解析中尺度涡流，因为这需要巨大的计算成本。一种新的中尺度涡流影响的参数化方案已被应用于一个广泛使用的模式中。将其解与传统参数化方案的解进行比较，表明全球温度分布、极向和表面热通量以及深水形成位置都有显著改善。
