Abstract: Recently, stochastic, as opposed to deterministic, parameterizations are being investigated to model the effects of unresolved subgrid scales (SGS) in large eddy simulations (LES) of geophysical flows. We analyse such a stochastic approach in the barotropic vorticity equation to show that (i) if the stochastic parameterization approximates the actual SGS stresses, then the solution of the stochastic LES approximates the ``true" solution at appropriate scale sizes; and that (ii) when the filter scale size approaches zero, the solution of the stochastic LES approaches the true solution.
