  abstract = {{A} high 1/36 degrees resolution numerical model is used to study the ocean circulation in the {S}olomon {S}ea. {A}n evaluation of the model with (the few) available observation shows that the 1/36 degrees resolution model realistically simulates the {S}olomon {S}ea circulations. {T}he model notably reproduces the high levels of mesoscale eddy activity observed in the {S}olomon {S}ea. {W}ith regard to previous simulations at 1/12 degrees resolution, the average eddy kinetic energy levels are increased by up to approximate to 30-40% in the present 1/36 degrees simulation, and the enhancement extends at depth. {A}t the surface, the eddy kinetic energy level is maximum in {M}arch-{A}pril-{M}ay and is minimum in {D}ecember-{J}anuary-{F}ebruary. {T}he high subsurface variability is related to the variability of the western boundary current ({N}ew {G}uinea {C}oastal {U}ndercurrent). {M}oreover, the emergence of submesoscales is clearly apparent in the present simulations. {A} spectral analysis is conducted in order to evidence and characterize the modeled submesoscale dynamics and to provide a spectral view of scales interactions. {T}he corresponding spectral slopes show a strong consistency with the {S}urface {Q}uasi-{G}eostrophic turbulence theory.},
