Short summary
In this paper, a simple and generic implementation approach is presented, with the aim of transforming a deterministic ocean model (like NEMO) into a probabilistic model. With this approach, several kinds of stochastic parameterizations are implemented to simulate the non-deterministic effect of unresolved processes, unresolved scales, and unresolved diversity. The method is illustrated with three applications, showing that uncertainties can produce a major effect in the model simulations.
