Impact of the Surface Stress on the Volume and Freshwater Transport Through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago From a High-Resolution Numerical Simulation
Download2018-01-01
Grivault, Nathan, Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G.
We use a numerical model forced with high temporal and spatial resolution atmospheric forcing to evaluate the volume and freshwater transport through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). On average, the simulated inflow through the Queen Elizabeth Islands represents 40% of the transport...

The Mackenzie Shelf in the southeastern Beaufort Sea is a region that has experienced large changes in the past several decades as warming, sea-ice loss, and increased river discharge have altered carbon cycling. Upwelling and downwelling events are common on the shelf, caused by strong,...

A high-resolution coupled ocean–sea ice model is set up within the Labrador Sea. With a horizontal resolution of 1/60◦ , this simulation is capable of resolving the multitude of eddies that transport heat and freshwater into the interior of the Labrador Sea. These fluxes strongly govern the...

We use an eddy-permitting, 1/12° regional configuration of the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model to examine water mass subduction rates in the Labrador Sea for the 2002–2013 period. An instantaneous kinematic subduction approach is implemented to calculate the subduction...

Labrador Sea Water formation rate and its impact on the local Meridional Overturning Circulation

Feucher, Charlene, Garcia-Quintana, Yarisbel, Yashayev, Igor, Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G.
This paper investigates the link between the Labrador Sea Water (LSW) formation rate and the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation within the Labrador Sea. LSW is formed in the Labrador Sea through deep wintertime ocean convection and is then carried out of the basin by,...

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...

Yu, Xiaoxin, Allen, Susan E., Francois, Roger, Grenier, Melanie, Myers, Paul G., Hu, Xianmin
Global climate change has had large impacts on the Arctic region including rapid reductions in sea ice and rapid increases in surface air temperatures. Documenting the consequences of these changes in the Arctic Ocean is difficult, however, because accessibility limits observations in space and...

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...

Potential positive feedback between Greenland ice sheet melt and Baffin Bay heat content on the west Greenland shelf
Download2015
Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G., de la Guardia, Laura C.
Greenland ice sheet meltwater runoff has been increasing in recent decades, especially in the southwest and the northeast. To determine the impact of this accelerating meltwater flux on Baffin Bay, we examine eight numerical experiments using an ocean-sea ice model: Nucleus for European Modelling...

Ridenour, Natasha A., Hu, Xianmin, Sydor, Kevin, Myers, Paul G., Barber, David G.
The Hudson Bay Complex is the outlet for many Canadian rivers, receiving roughly 900 km3/year of river runoff. Historically, studies found a consistent cyclonic flow year-round in Hudson Bay, due to the geostrophic boundary current induced by river discharge and cyclonic wind forcing that was...
