Projected changes in Arctic Ocean freshwater budgets
[1] Arctic Ocean freshwater budgets are examined from 10 models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report. This includes an analysis of sea ice transport and storage, ocean transport and storage, and net surface flux exchange. Simulated budgets for the late 20th century are compared to available observations, followed by an analysis of simulated cha...
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 کاملFreshwater transport in the coupled 1 ocean - atmosphere system : a passive ocean
Conservation of water demands that meridional ocean and atmo6 sphere freshwater transports (FWT) are of equal magnitude but opposite in 7 direction. This suggests that the atmospheric FWT and its associated latent 8 heat (LH) transport could be thought of as a “coupled ocean/atmosphere 9 mode”. But what is the true nature of this coupling? Is the ocean passive or 10
متن کاملTracer Dating and Ocean Ventilation
The interpretation of transient tracer observations depends on dif•cult to obtain information on the evolution in time of the tracer boundary conditions and interior distributions. Recent studies have attempted to circumvent this problem by making use of a derived quantity, age, based on the simultaneous distribution of two complementary tracers, such as tritium and its daughter, helium 3. The ...
متن کاملComparing modeled streamfunction, heat and freshwater content in the Arctic Ocean
Within the framework of the Arctic OceanModel Intercomparison Project results from several coupled sea ice–ocean models are compared in order to investigate vertically integrated properties of the Arctic Ocean. Annual means and seasonal ranges of streamfunction, freshwater and heat content are shown. For streamfunction the entire water column is integrated. For heat and freshwater content integ...
