Warming of the Intermediate Atlantic Water of the Arctic Ocean in the 2000s
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his analysis evaluates the thermal state of the intermediate (depth range of 150?900 m) Atlantic Water (AW) of the Arctic Ocean, beginning in the 1950s and with particular focus on the transition from the 1990s to the 2000s ...
Winter Convection Transports Atlantic Water Heat to the Surface Layer in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 1-yr (2009/10) record of temperature and salinity profiles from Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) buoys in the Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to quantify the flux of heat from the upper pycnocline to the surface ...
Mooring-Based Observations of Double-Diffusive Staircases over the Laptev Sea Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: yearlong time series from mooring-based high-resolution profiles of water temperature and salinity from the Laptev Sea slope (2003?04; 2686-m depth; 78°26?N, 125°37?E) shows six remarkably persistent staircase layers in ...
On the Seasonal Cycles Observed at the Continental Slope of the Eastern Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is subject to substantial seasonality. We here use data collected between 2013 and 2015 from six moorings across the continental slope in the eastern EB and identify three ...
Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 ...
