Theoretical comparison of subgrid turbulence in atmospheric and oceanic quasi-geostrophic models

Due to the massive disparity between the largest and smallest eddies in the atmosphere and ocean, it is not possible to simulate these flows by explicitly resolving all scales on a computational grid. Instead the large scales are explicitly resolved, and the interactions between the unresolved subgr...
