Abstract: he origin of double-diffusive staircases in the Arctic Ocean is investigated for the particular background setting in which both temperature and salinity increase with depth. Motivated by observations that show the coexistence ...

Abstract: ce-tethered profiler (ITP) measurements from the Arctic Ocean?s Canada Basin indicate an ocean surface layer beneath sea ice with significant horizontal density structure on scales of hundreds of kilometers to the order 1 ...

Abstract: his study is motivated by Arctic Ocean observations of sub?mixed layer eddies found at large distances from their assumed formation region of a surface ocean front. Eddy formation is explored through high-resolution numerical ...

Abstract: he contemporary Arctic Ocean differs markedly from midlatitude, ice-free, and relatively warm oceans in the context of density-compensating temperature and salinity variations. These variations are invaluable tracers in ...

Abstract: AbstractThe deep waters in the Canada Basin display a complex temperature and salinity structure, the evolution of which is poorly understood. The fundamental physical processes driving changes in these deep water masses ...

Abstract: AbstractWe present observational estimates of Ekman pumping in the Beaufort Gyre region. Averaged over the Canada Basin, the results show a 2003?14 average of 2.3 m yr?1 downward with strong seasonal and interannual ...

Abstract: he ice?ocean system is investigated on inertial to monthly time scales using winter 2009?10 observations from the first ice-tethered profiler (ITP) equipped with a velocity sensor (ITP-V). Fluctuations in surface winds, ...
