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...

Pennelly, Clark, Myers, Paul G.
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...

Gillard, Laura C., Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G., Bamber, Jonathan L.
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...

Lukovich, Jennifer V., Tefs, Andrew, Jafarikhasragh, Shabnam, Pennelly, Clark, Myers, Paul G., Stadnyk, Tricia A., Sydor, Kevin, Wong, Karen, Vieira, Michael, Landry, David, Stoeve, Julienne C., Barber, D. G.
In this article, we examine atmospheric and river discharge conditions within the Hudson Bay Complex for the BaySys 2016-2018 field program time frame. Investigated in particular is a subset of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis - Interim (ERA-Interim)...

Horizontal advection has been assumed negligible within the Alaskan Gyre (AG). With the recently available Argo data this assumption can be tested. To estimate advection, the observed heat content (estimated from Argo data) was compared to the expected (based on surface heat fluxes) and the...

Mixed layer depth (MLD) is computed, based upon historical measurements along Line P, in the Gulf of Alaska. Forty-six years of data are used for the monthly climatological calculations. To examine variability, the data are divided into two periods, pre and post 1976. Mixed layers deepen in...

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...

Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) hatching in the Hudson Bay system: Testing of the freshwater winter refuge hypothesis
Download2022-01-01
Schembri, Sarah, Deschepper, Inge, Myers, Paul G., Sirois, Pascal, Fortier, Louis, Bouchard, Caroline, Maps, Frederic
Buoyant Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) eggs are found at the surface or at the ice-water interface in winter. While winter temperatures in saline waters fall below 0 degrees C, the temperature in areas affected by under-ice river plumes is slightly higher. Under-ice river plumes may therefore...

Assessing the Role of High-Frequency Winds and Sea Ice Loss on Arctic Phytoplankton Blooms in an Ice-Ocean-Biogeochemical Model
Download2019-01-01
de la Guardia, L. Castro, Garcia-Quintana, Y., Claret, M., Hu, X., Galbraith, E. D., Myers, Paul G.
The long-term trend of increasing phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) in the Arctic correlates with increasing light penetration due to sea ice loss. However, recent studies suggest that enhanced stormy wind mixing may also play a significant role enhancing NPP. Here, we isolate the role...
