Pacific ventilation of the Artic Ocean's lower halocline by upwelling and diapycnal mixing over the continental margin

Creator:

Woodgate, Rebecca A., Aagaard, Knut, Swift, James H., Falkner, Kelly, and Smethie, William M.

Abstract:

Pacific winter waters, a major source of nutrients and buoyancy to the Arctic Ocean, are thought to ventilate the Arctic's lower halocline either by injection (isopycnal or penetrative) of cold saline shelf waters, or by cooling and freshening Atlantic waters upwelled onto the shelf. Although ventilation at salinity (S) >...

Relaxation of central Arctic Ocean hydrography to pre-1990s climatology

Creator:

Morison, J., Steele, M., Kikuchi, T., Falkner, Kelly, and Smethie, W.

Abstract:

Upper ocean hydrography in the central Arctic Ocean has relaxed since 2000 to near-climatological conditions that pertained before the dramatic changes of the 1990s. The behavior of the anomalies of temperature and salinity in the central Arctic Ocean follow a first-order linear response to the AO with time constant of...
