article_snippet: Using data from various climate models, trapped regions of warmer water, shown in red, are seen adjacent to the Gulf Stream off the eastern coast of the U.S.
article_snippet: Trapped regions of warmer water adjacent to the Gulf Stream off the eastern coast of the U.S. the U.S. indicate the model’s capability to simulate eddy transport of heat within the ocean, a key component necessary to accurately simulate global climate change .
article_snippet: The model, by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, is used to simulate eddy transportation of heat within the ocean, a key component necessary to accurately simulate climate change.
article_snippet: Computer models of the ocean must capture these eddies and Computer models of the global ocean impact on ocean circulation in order to accurately represent the climate system and future climate change,’ LANL says.
article_snippet: This is difficult because the small size (10–100 km) of eddies requires high spatial resolution and substantial computing power’.
article_snippet: The analysis was based on a combination of data from more than two dozen climate simulation models from around The world .
