Impact of Atmospheric Forcing on Antarctic Continental Shelf Water Masses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Antarctic continental shelf seas feature a bimodal distribution of water mass temperature, with the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas flooded by Circumpolar Deep Water that is several degrees Celsius warmer than the cold ...
The Impact of the Extreme Winter 2015/16 Arctic Cyclone on the Barents–Kara Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) were used to study an extreme warm and humid air mass transported over the Barents?Kara Seas region by an Arctic cyclone at the end of December 2015. Temperature ...
Intercomparison of Precipitation Estimates Over the Southern Ocean from Atmospheric Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation is a major component of the hydrologic cycle and plays a significant role in the sea-ice mass balance in the polar regions. Over the Southern Ocean, precipitation is particularly uncertain due to the lack of ...
Intercomparison of Precipitation Estimates over the Arctic Ocean and Its Peripheral Seas from Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrecipitation over the Arctic Ocean has a significant impact on the basin-scale freshwater and energy budgets but is one of the most poorly constrained variables in atmospheric reanalyses. Precipitation controls ...
