Sensitivity of near-inertial internal waves to spatial interpolations of wind stress in ocean generation circulation models

We propose a new interpolation method, i.e., the bi-sinc-function interpolation, which is able to retain all the wind stress variance within the Nyquist wavenumber. Compared to the bilinear and bicubic interpolations, the bi-sinc-function interpolation improves the simulations of NIWs and should be incorporated into OGCMs especially when coarse wind stress is used.
