Myers, Paul G., Ribergaard, Mads H.
A number of recent studies have shown enhanced retreat of tidewater glaciers over much of southern and western Greenland. One of the fastest retreats has occurred at Jakobshavn Isbrae, with the rapid retreat linked to the arrival of relatively warm and saline Irminger water along the west coast...

Decline and partial rebound of the Labrador Current 1993-2004: Monitoring ocean currents from altimetric and conductivity-temperature-depth data

Chen, Nancy, Ohashi, Kyoko, Fischer, Jürgen, Myers, Paul G., Han, Guoqi, Nunes, Nuno
Monitoring and understanding of Labrador Current variability is important because it is intimately linked to the meridional overturning circulation and the marine ecosystem off northeast North America. Nevertheless, knowledge of its decadal variability is inadequate because of scarcity of current...

The transport of freshwater is analyzed in an eddy-permitting regional model of the sub-polar North Atlantic, focusing on the export of freshwater (in liquid form) through Davis Strait. The results show that in the model simulations there is a limited exchange of freshwater between the Labrador...

Stratford, Kevin, Williams, Richard G., Myers, Paul G.
The role of the thermohaline circulation in controlling export production, oxygenation of deep waters, and hence possible sapropel formation in the eastern Mediterranean is examined using a simple nutrient-cycling model. The model is driven by velocity fields from a general circulation model and...

Greenland freshwater pathways in the sub-Arctic seas from model experiments with passive tracers

Chassignet, Eric, Lee, Craig M., Bamber, Jonathan L., Curry, Beth, Dukhovskoy, Dmitry S., Timmermans, Mary-Louise, Platov, Gennady, Myers, Paul G., Proshutinsky, Andrey, Hu, Xianmin, Somavilla, Raquel
Accelerating since the early 1990s, the Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss exerts a significant impact on thermohaline processes in the sub-Arctic seas. Surplus freshwater discharge from Greenland since the 1990s, comparable in volume to the amount of freshwater present during the Great Salinity...

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...

Ruhs, Siren, Oliver, Eric C. J., Biastoch, Arne, Boning, Claus W., Dowd, Michael, Getzlaff, Klaus, Martin, Torge, Myers, Paul G.
Deep convection and associated deep water formation are key processes for climate variability, since they impact the oceanic uptake of heat and trace gases and alter the structure and strength of the global overturning circulation. For long, deep convection in the subpolar North Atlantic was...

A new data set of temperature and salinity fields reconstructed from satellite altimetry data between January 1993 and April 2014 is combined with satellite observations of mesoscale eddies in the subpolar North Atlantic between 40°N–55°N and 43°W–20.5°W. The data set is used to calculate the...

Wind-forced depth-dependent currents over the eastern Beaufort Sea continental slope: Implications for Pacific water transport

Dmitrenko, Igor A., Kirillov, Sergei A., Myers, Paul G., Forest, Alexandre, Tremblay, Bruno, Lukovich, Jennifer V., Gratton, Yves, Rysgaard, Soren, Barber, David G.
Pacific water contributes significantly to the Arctic Ocean freshwater budget. Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux, also affected by the Pacific-derived Arctic water, impact the Atlantic overturning circulation with implications for global climate. The interannual variability of the...

Hudson Strait is the main pathway of heat, mass, and freshwater exchange between Hudson Bay and the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans. The outflow along the southern coast of the strait, a fresh, baroclinic jet directed toward the North Atlantic, has received more attention due to its potential...
