Abstract
This study explores the use of the 1/4° and the 1/12° Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling (OCCAM) project. The model's representation of the dynamic nature of this region is assessed. On average 2 - 3 intense and well-defined eddies are generated per year within the model; having mean longevities of 4.89 ± 2.20 months with average advection speeds of 5.51 ± 1.57 km day¯¹
