Towards a dynamically balanced eddy-resolving ocean reanalysis: BRAN3

PR Oke, P Sakov, ML Cahill, JR Dunn, R Fiedler… - Ocean Modelling, 2013 - Elsevier
The generation and evolution of eddies in the ocean are largely due to instabilities that are
unpredictable, even on short time-scales. As a result, eddy-resolving ocean reanalyses …
