The realism of large scale numerical ocean models has improved dra
matically in recent years, in part because modern computers permit
a more faithful representation of the differential equations by
their algebraic analogs. Equally significant, if not more so, has
been the improved under standing of physical processes on space and
time scales smaller than those that can be represented in such
models. Today, some of the most challeng ing issues remaining in
ocean modeling are associated with parameterizing the effects of
these high-frequency, small-space scale processes. Accurate
parameterizations are especially needed in long term integrations
of coarse resolution ocean models that are designed to understand
the ocean vari ability within the climate system on seasonal to
decadal time scales. Traditionally, parameterizations of
subgrid-scale, high-frequency mo tions in ocean modeling have been
based on simple formulations, such as the Reynolds decomposition
with constant diffusivity values. Until recently, modelers were
concerned with first order issues such as a correct represen tation
of the basic features of the ocean circulation. As the numerical
simu lations become better and less dependent on the discretization
choices, the focus is turning to the physics of the needed
parameterizations and their numerical implementation. At the
present time, the success of any large scale numerical simulation
is directly dependent upon the choices that are made for the
parameterization of various subgrid processes.
