Observations of Barotropic Oscillations and Their Influence on Mixing in the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations of hydrography, currents, and microstructure are presented together with sea surface height (SSH) patterns from concurrent satellite tracks to describe the subinertial oscillations in the region downstream of ...
Variability and Mixing of the Filchner Overflow Plume on the Continental Slope, Weddell Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large fraction of Antarctic Bottom Water is produced in the Weddell Sea, through mixing between the cold and dense shelf water masses and the warm and saline off-shelf water. We present observations of the dense Filchner ...
Vertical Convergence of Turbulent and Double-Diffusive Heat Flux Drives Warming and Erosion of Antarctic Winter Water in Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
On the Seasonal Signal of the Filchner Overflow, Weddell Sea, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he cold ice shelf water (ISW) that formed below the Filchner?Ronne Ice Shelf in the southwestern Weddell Sea, Antarctica, escapes the ice shelf cavity through the Filchner Depression and spills over its sill at a rate of ...
Toward Quantifying the Increasing Role of Oceanic Heat in Sea Ice Loss in the New Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he loss of Arctic sea ice has emerged as a leading signal of global warming. This, together with acknowledged impacts on other components of the Earth system, has led to the term ?the new Arctic.? Global coupled climate ...
