Understanding Arctic Ocean circulation: A review of ocean dynamics in a changing climate

ML Timmermans, J Marshall - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Arctic Ocean is a focal point of climate change, with ocean warming,
freshening, sea‐ice decline, and circulation that link to the changing atmospheric and …

Nordic Seas heat loss, Atlantic inflow, and Arctic sea ice cover over the last century

LH Smedsrud, M Muilwijk, A Brakstad… - Reviews of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Poleward ocean heat transport is a key process in the earth system. We detail and review
the northward Atlantic Water (AW) flow, Arctic Ocean heat transport, and heat loss to the …

Fluctuating Atlantic inflows modulate Arctic atlantification

IV Polyakov, RB Ingvaldsen, AV Pnyushkov, US Bhatt… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Enhanced warm, salty subarctic inflows drive high-latitude atlantification, which weakens
oceanic stratification, amplifies heat fluxes, and reduces sea ice. In this work, we show that …

Divergence in climate model projections of future Arctic Atlantification

M Muilwijk, A Nummelin, C Heuzé… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org
Abstract The Arctic Ocean is strongly stratified by salinity in the uppermost layers. This
stratification is a key attribute of the region as it acts as an effective barrier for the vertical …

[HTML][HTML] The deep arctic ocean and fram strait in cmip6 models

C Heuzé, H Zanowski, S Karam… - Journal of Climate, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org
Arctic sea ice loss has become a symbol of ongoing climate change, yet climate models still
struggle to reproduce it accurately, let alone predict it. A reason for this is the increasingly …

Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx): 2. Evaluating linear kinematic features in high‐resolution sea ice simulations

N Hutter, A Bouchat, F Dupont… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Simulating sea ice drift and deformation in the Arctic Ocean is still a challenge because of
the multiscale interaction of sea ice floes that compose the Arctic Sea ice cover. The Sea Ice …

A review of interactions between ocean heat transport and Arctic sea ice

D Docquier, T Koenigk - Environmental Research Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Arctic sea ice has been retreating at fast pace over the last decades, with potential impacts
on the weather and climate at mid and high latitudes, as well as the biosphere and society …

Recent upper Arctic Ocean warming expedited by summertime atmospheric processes

Z Li, Q Ding, M Steele, A Schweiger - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
Abstract The observed upper (0–50 m) Arctic Ocean warming since 1979 has been primarily
attributed to anthropogenically driven changes in the high latitudes. Here, using both …

Mechanisms of regional winter sea-ice variability in a warming Arctic

J Dörr, M Årthun, T Eldevik, E Madonna - Journal of Climate, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
The Arctic winter sea ice cover is in retreat overlaid by large internal variability. Changes to
sea ice are driven by exchange of heat, momentum, and freshwater within and between the …

Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx): 1. Scaling and statistical properties of sea‐ice deformation fields

A Bouchat, N Hutter, J Chanut, F Dupont… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
As the sea‐ice modeling community is shifting to advanced numerical frameworks,
develo** new sea‐ice rheologies, and increasing model spatial resolution, ubiquitous …
