Combined Influence of Inflow and Lake Temperatures on Spring Circulation in a Riverine Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Kamloops Lake is a long (25 km), deep (maximum depth, 145 m) intermontane lake in central British Columbia fed at its eastern end by the Thompson River (mean annual flow, 720 m2 s?1). Here I describe spring overturn and ...
Synoptic Flow and Density Observations near an Arctic Shelf Break
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses of data from three shipborne surveys describe the quasi-synoptic density and velocity fields near Barrow Canyon, Alaska. The canyon parallels the northwestern coast of Alaska and contains three different water ...
Wind Mixing and Restratification in a Lake near the Temperature of Maximum Density
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cooling of a freshwater take provides an opportunity for studying wind mixing and restratification under the peculiar conditions associated with a density maximum. The concepts are explored using a mixing-layer model ...
Temperature and Salinity Structure in the Weddell Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The general circulation of water in the Weddell Sea is part of a large cyclonic gyre. A section taken across this gyre from the Scotia Ridge to Cape Norvegia shows that the Warm Deep Water forms an asymmetric lens-like ...
Winter Convection Transports Atlantic Water Heat to the Surface Layer in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 1-yr (2009/10) record of temperature and salinity profiles from Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) buoys in the Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to quantify the flux of heat from the upper pycnocline to the surface ...
Mooring-Based Observations of Double-Diffusive Staircases over the Laptev Sea Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: yearlong time series from mooring-based high-resolution profiles of water temperature and salinity from the Laptev Sea slope (2003?04; 2686-m depth; 78°26?N, 125°37?E) shows six remarkably persistent staircase layers in ...
On the Seasonal Cycles Observed at the Continental Slope of the Eastern Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is subject to substantial seasonality. We here use data collected between 2013 and 2015 from six moorings across the continental slope in the eastern EB and identify three ...
Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 ...
