Parameterizing subgrid-scale eddy effects using energetically consistent backscatter

•New approach for sub-grid eddy parameterization in eddy-permitting ocean models.•Parameterization mimics transfer of enstrophy, but not energy, to small scales.•Tests in idealized QG model show substantial improvements.•The adaptation for use in realistic OGCMs is discussed. In the near future we e...
