Short summary
Surface kinetic energy reflects the distribution of ocean circulation across temporal and spatial scales, shaping energy transfer and mixing in the upper ocean. In a series of North and Equatorial Atlantic numerical simulations, we show that the surface kinetic energy is sensitive to the model's choices in grid and seafloor resolution and to the tides and wind variability, offering guidance for the configuration of future ocean simulations.
