Hydrographic Preconditioning for Seasonal Sea Ice Anomalies in the Labrador Sea
This study investigates the hydrographic processes involved in setting the maximumwintertime sea ice (SI) extent in the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay. The analysis is based on an ocean and sea ice state estimate covering the summer-to-summer 1996/97 annual cycle. The estimate is a synthesis of in situ and satellite hydrographic and ice data with a regional coupled 1/38 ocean–sea ice model. SI adv...
متن کاملTrend of the Caspian Sea surface temperature changes
The interaction between sea and atmosphere has profound effects on the regions climate. Meanwhile, the sea surface temperature is considered as one of the most effective components of water bodies, and the controller of many atmospheric behaviors. Because of the importance of sea surface temperatures effects on atmospheric elements and also given the role of global warming on land and sea surfa...
متن کاملMesoscale Variability in the Labrador Sea
My immediate objective is to understand the interactions between convection and mesoscale circulation, in order to quantify the in uence of convective events on the large scale circulation. Such interactions include: (a) The lateral mixing generated by baroclinic instability and geostrophic eddy interactions. How e cient are lateral mixing processes in convective regions? Can these processes ac...
متن کاملAssessing the Roles of Three Eddy Types in Restratifying the Labrador Sea after Deep Convection
Restratification after deep convection is one of the key factors in determining the temporal 5 variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea. In the subsurface it is primarily governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes during early spring. The roles of three different eddy types in this process are assessed using an idealized model of the Labrador Sea that simulates the restratification sea...
متن کاملAssessing the Role of Three Eddy Types in Restratifying the Labrador Sea after Deep Convection
Restratification after deep convection, a key factor in determining the temporal variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea, is governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes. The role of three different eddy types in this process is assessed using an idealized model to simulate the restratification season. For a realistic shape of the convection area, it is shown that in the model warm core...
