Balancing Backscatter and Diffusion in a $1/4^\circ$ Forced Global Ocean Model
Mesoscale ocean eddies in \nicefrac{1}{4}$^\circ$ global ocean models lie near the grid scale and so are overdamped by viscous closures, resulting in excessive damping of eddy kinetic energy, underestimation of sea surface height variability, and bias
