Evolution of the Freshwater Coastal Current at the Southern Tip of Greenland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractShipboard hydrographic and velocity measurements collected in summer 2014 are used to study the evolution of the freshwater coastal current in southern Greenland as it encounters Cape Farewell. The velocity structure ...
Kinematic Structure and Dynamics of the Denmark Strait Overflow from Ship-based Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dense outflow through Denmark Strait is the largest contributor to the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, yet a description of the full velocity field across the strait remains incomplete. ...
Frontogenesis and Variability in Denmark Strait and Its Influence on Overflow Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA high-resolution numerical model, together with in situ and satellite observations, is used to explore the nature and dynamics of the dominant high-frequency (from one day to one week) variability in Denmark Strait. ...
Whither the Chukchi Slope Current?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent measurements and modeling indicate that roughly half of the Pacific-origin water exiting the Chukchi Sea shelf through Barrow Canyon forms a westward-flowing current known as the Chukchi Slope Current (CSC), yet the ...
