Widespread global disparities between modelled and observed mid-depth ocean currents

F Su, R Fan, F Yan, M Meadows, V Lyne, P Hu… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The mid-depth ocean circulation is critically linked to actual changes in the long-term global
climate system. However, in the past few decades, predictions based on ocean circulation …

Spinning ice floes reveal intensification of mesoscale eddies in the western Arctic Ocean

GE Manucharyan, R Lopez-Acosta, MM Wilhelmus - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
Under-ice eddies are prevalent in the major circulation system in the western Arctic Ocean,
the Beaufort Gyre. Theoretical studies hypothesize that the eddy-driven overturning and the …

Stirring of interior potential vorticity gradients as a formation mechanism for large subsurface-intensified eddies in the Beaufort Gyre

GE Manucharyan, AL Stewart - Journal of Physical …, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
Abstract The Beaufort Gyre (BG) is hypothesized to be partially equilibrated by those
mesoscale eddies that form via baroclinic instabilities of its currents. However, our …

Identification of thermohaline sheet and its spatial structure in the Canada Basin

YZ Lu, SX Guo, SQ Zhou, XL Song… - Journal of Physical …, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
Thirty-four individual thermohaline sheets are identified at depths of 170–400 m in the
Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean by using the hydrographical data measured with the Ice …

Norwegian Sea net community production estimated from O2 and prototype CO2 optode measurements on a Seaglider

Long-term eddy modulation affects the meridional asymmetry of the halocline in the Beaufort Gyre

J Lu, L Du, S Tao - Ocean Science, 2023 - os.copernicus.org
Against the background of wind-forcing change along with Arctic sea ice retreat, the
mesoscale processes undergoing distinct variation in the Beaufort Gyre (BG) region are …

Beaufort Gyre isopycnal structure generates significant halocline eddy transport

HC Mason, KS Smith - Authorea Preprints, 2025 - essopenarchive.org
The Beaufort Gyre mean state is theorized to be set by surface wind stress, local sea ice,
and subsurface mesoscale eddy transport. The mesoscale eddies in this context are subject …

Investigating Arctic Ocean Freshwater Content and Circulation in a Changing Climate

EL Hoffman - 2024 - search.proquest.com
Abstract The Arctic Ocean is unique among the world's oceans, characterized by its cold
