The Arctic Ocean Spices Up
The 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 the midlatitudes, revealing essential fundamental physical processes of the oceans, on scales from millimeters to thousands of kilometers. However, in the cold Arctic Ocean, te...

متن کاملArctic pathways of Pacific Water: Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison experiments
Pacific Water (PW) enters the Arctic Ocean through Bering Strait and brings in heat, fresh water, and nutrients from the northern Bering Sea. The circulation of PW in the central Arctic Ocean is only partially understood due to the lack of observations. In this paper, pathways of PW are investigated using simulations with six state-of-the art regional and global Ocean General Circulation Models...
متن کاملPan-Arctic distributions of continental runoff in the Arctic Ocean
Continental runoff is a major source of freshwater, nutrients and terrigenous material to the Arctic Ocean. As such, it influences water column stratification, light attenuation, surface heating, gas exchange, biological productivity and carbon sequestration. Increasing river discharge and thawing permafrost suggest that the impacts of continental runoff on these processes are changing. Here, a...
متن کاملA GIS framework for describing river channel bathymetry
Detailed bathymetry data are collected on short reaches and are usually not available for the entire stream network at a regional scale. By using the field data collected for a reach along the Brazos River in Texas, a geographic information system (GIS) framework for describing river channel bathymetry at regional-scale is presented. The framework is based on deriving relationships among differ...
