Volume, heat, and freshwater divergences in the subpolar North Atlantic suggest the Nordic Seas as key to the state of the meridional overturning circulation

L Chafik, T Rossby - Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) decreases rapidly in subpolar and Nordic
regions where the warm upper layer loses its buoyancy due to intense heat loss, sinks, and …

Role of Greenland freshwater anomaly in the recent freshening of the subpolar North Atlantic

DS Dukhovskoy, I Yashayaev… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The cumulative Greenland freshwater flux anomaly has exceeded 5,000 km3 since the
1990s. The volume of this surplus freshwater is expected to cause substantial freshening in …

The contiguous panarctic Riverine Coastal Domain: A unifying concept

E Carmack, P Winsor, W Williams - Progress in Oceanography, 2015 - Elsevier
Abstract The Riverine Coastal Domain (RCD) is a narrow (∼< 15 km), shallow (∼ 10 m)
contiguous feature that is primarily forced driven by an aggregate of continental runoff …

Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier

BJ Davison, TR Cowton, FR Cottier, AJ Sole - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Fjord dynamics influence oceanic heat flux to the Greenland ice sheet. Submarine iceberg
melting releases large volumes of freshwater within Greenland's fjords, yet its impact on fjord …

Greenland freshwater pathways in the sub‐A rctic S eas from model experiments with passive tracers

DS Dukhovskoy, PG Myers, G Platov… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Accelerating since the early 1990s, the Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss exerts a significant
