Separating the influence of projected changes in air temperature and wind on patterns of sea level change and ocean heat content
Download2015
Saenko, Oleg A., Myers, Paul G., Gregory, Jonathan M., Yang, Duo, Spence, Paul
We present ocean model sensitivity experiments aimed at separating the influence of the projected changes in the “thermal” (near-surface air temperature) and “wind” (near-surface winds) forcing on the patterns of sea level and ocean heat content. In the North Atlantic, the distribution of sea...

Surface geostrophic velocity fields derived from satellite altimetry between January 1993 and April 2014 are used to detect and investigate eddies in the North Atlantic between 40°N–55°N and 60°W–10°W. Focus is on a zonal section along 47°N, roughly at the boundary between the subpolar and the...

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...
