RISOn the Interplay between the Circulation in the Surface and the Intermediate Layers of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he circulation of the Arctic Ocean has traditionally been studied as a two-layer system, with a wind-driven anticyclonic gyre in the surface layer and a cyclonic boundary current in the Atlantic Water (AW) layer, primarily ...
On the Link between Arctic Sea Ice Decline and the Freshwater Content of the Beaufort Gyre: Insights from a Simple Process Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent satellite and hydrographic observations have shown that the rate of freshwater accumulation in the Beaufort Gyre of the Arctic Ocean has accelerated over the past decade. This acceleration has coincided with the ...
Competing Effects of Elevated Vertical Mixing and Increased Freshwater Input on the Stratification and Sea Ice Cover in a Changing Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Arctic Ocean is undergoing a period of rapid transition. Freshwater input is projected to increase, and the decline in Arctic sea ice is likely to drive periodic increases in vertical mixing during ice-free periods. ...
