Deep-Flow Variability at Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A rotary empirical orthogonal function analysis of the currents measured in central Drake Passage during DRAKE 79 shows that the deep (2500 m) flow has the same spatial and temporal structure as the flow at 500 m, suggesting ...
Sensitivity of Circumpolar Deep Water Transport and Ice Shelf Basal Melt along the West Antarctic Peninsula to Changes in the Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ircumpolar Deep Water (CDW) can be found near the continental shelf break around most of Antarctica. Advection of this relatively warm water (up to 2°C) across the continental shelf to the base of floating ice shelves is ...
Effects of Projected Changes in Wind, Atmospheric Temperature, and Freshwater Inflow on the Ross Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA 5-km horizontal resolution regional ocean?sea ice?ice shelf model of the Ross Sea is used to examine the effects of changes in wind strength, air temperature, and increased meltwater input on the formation of ...
