Dense water formation on the Icelandic shelf and its contribution to the North Icelandic Jet
Download2021-01-01
Garcia-Quintana, Yarisbel, Grivault, Nathan, Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G.
The North Icelandic Jet (NIJ) is the densest component of the Denmark Strait Overflow Water, feeding the abyssal limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Here, by using observational and numerical model data, we explore the formation of overflow water on the Icelandic shelf, the...

The Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) stores the largest amount of freshwater in the Northern Hemisphere and has been recently losing mass at an increasing rate. An eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model is forced with realistic estimates of freshwater flux from the GrIS. Two approaches are...

Pacific Water Pathway in the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Gyre in Two Simulations With Different Horizontal Resolutions
Download2019-01-01
Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G., Lu, Youyu
A set of numerical simulations (with horizontal resolutions of 1/4 degrees and 1/12 degrees ) is conducted to study the Pacific Water pathway in the Arctic Ocean and the freshwater content in Beaufort Gyre. Passive tracer tags the Pacific Water entering through Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean...

N., Johnson, Helen L., Kostov, Yavor, Kovacs, Tamas, Lique, Camille, Marson, Juliana M., Myers, Paul G., Scott, Jeffery, Smedsrud, Lars H., Talandier, Claude, Wang, Qiang
Multimodel Arctic Ocean “climate response function” experiments are analyzed in order to explore the effects of anomalous wind forcing over the Greenland Sea (GS) on poleward ocean heat transport, Atlantic Water (AW) pathways, and the extent of Arctic sea ice. Particular emphasis is placed on the...

CSIB v1 (Canadian Sea-ice Biogeochemistry): a sea-ice biogeochemical model for the NEMO community ocean modelling framework
Download2019-01-01
Hayashida, Haskase, Christian, James R., Holdsworth, Amber M., Hu, Xianmin, Monahan, Adam H., Mortenson, Eric, Myers, Paul G., Riche, Olivier G. J., Sou, Tessa, Steiner, Nadja S.
Process-based numerical models are a useful tool for studying marine ecosystems and associated biogeochemical processes in ice-covered regions where observations are scarce. To this end, CSIB v1 (Canadian Sea-ice Biogeochemistry version 1), a new sea-ice biogeochemical model, has been developed...

Cascading of dense water from the shelf to deeper layers of the adjacent ocean basin has been observed in several locations around the world. The West Greenland Shelf (WGS), however, is a region where this process has never been documented. In this study, we use a numerical model with a 1/48...

The amount of cross‐isobath freshwater exchange within the North Atlantic subpolar gyre is estimated from numerical modelling simulations. A regional configuration of the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean model is used to carry out three simulations with horizontal resolutions of 1/4°,...

While Greenland discharge has been increasing in the last decades, its impact on the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is not clearly established. Because of that, the accuracy of this discharge representation in ocean models has not been a priority in large-scale circulation studies. Many...

The oceanic heat available in Greenland’s troughs is dependent on the geographic location of the trough, the water origin, and how the water is impacted by local processes along the pathway to the trough. This study investigates the spatial pattern and quantity of the warm water (with a...

Extreme High Greenland Blocking Index Leads to the Reversal of Davis and Nares Strait Net Transport Toward the Arctic Ocean

Myers, Paul G., de al Guardia, Laura Castro, Fu, Chuanshuai, Gillard, Laura C., Grivault, Nathan, Hu, Xianmin, Lee, Craig M., Moore, G. W. K., Pennelly, Clark, Ribergaard, Mads Hvid, Romanski, Joy
Baffin Bay exports Arctic Water to the North Atlantic while receiving northward flowing Atlantic Water. Warm Atlantic Water has impacted the retreat of tidewater glaciers draining the Greenland Ice Sheet. Periods of enhanced Atlantic Water transport into Baffin Bay have been observed, but the...
