Abstract
One of the key challenges in ocean dynamics is understanding how mesoscale eddy energy is dissipated. In this talk, I will explore the processes involved in eddy energy dissipation within intermediate-resolution ICON model configurations and discuss how these processes may be altered or replaced in higher-resolution configurations. For the latter, ageostrophic submesoscale turbulence and internal wave processes play a fundamental role and I will give an outlook on how these processes might be represented in future model configurations.
