Abstract
We discuss the performance of the Finite Element Ocean Model (FESOM) on locally eddy‐resolving global unstructured meshes. In particular, the utility of the mesh design approach whereby mesh horizontal resolution is varied as half the Rossby radius in most of the model domain is explored. Model simulations on such a mesh (FESOM‐XR) are compared with FESOM simulations on a smaller‐size mesh, where refinement depends only on the pattern of...
