Present-Day Arctic Sea Ice Variability in the Coupled ECHAM5/MPI-OM Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a contribution to a detailed evaluation of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-type coupled climate models against observations, this study analyzes Arctic sea ice parameters simulated by the Max-Planck-Institute ...
Modified Halocline Water over the Laptev Sea Continental Margin: Historical Data Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: istorical hydrographic data (1940s?2010) show a distinct cross-slope difference of the lower halocline water (LHW) over the Laptev Sea continental margins. Over the slope, the LHW is on average warmer and saltier by 0.2°C ...
Recent Sea Ice Decline Did Not Significantly Increase the Total Liquid Freshwater Content of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The freshwater stored in the Arctic Ocean is an important component of the global climate system. Currently the Arctic liquid freshwater content (FWC) has reached a record high since the beginning of the last century. In ...
Arctic Ocean Heat Impact on Regional Ice Decay: A Suggested Positive Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: road, long-living, ice-free areas in midwinter northeast of Svalbard between 2011 and 2014 are investigated. The formation of these persistent and reemerging anomalies is linked, hypothetically, with the increased seasonality ...
