Absolute wind recommended for non-eddy-resolving, but unclear what to do with eddy-permitting or eddy-resolving.

I recall a reasonably clear consensus that relative winds are to be used for eddying models.

This is quite a complex issue, particularly since ocean-only models also lack important feedbacks that modulate the stresses - e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2019MS001715
