Fall 2018
The Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans are experiencing multiple stresses such as loss of sea ice, changing atmospheric patterns, increasing wind energy at the ocean surface and larger freshwater discharge to coastal regions. To address how the marine system may respond to these stresses I...

This thesis presents a modified version of the Finite Element Ocean Model (FEOM) developed at Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) for the North Atlantic Ocean. A reasonable North Atlantic Ocean simulation is obtained against observational data sets in a Control simulation...

Fall 2019
The rising concentration of anthropogenic heat-trapping gasses has resulted in an energy imbalance in the Earth's climate system. As a consequence of it, an enhanced hydrological cycle and the continuous decline of the ice sheets are expected to increase the freshwater input into the Arctic and...

Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux affects Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning circulation
Download2016
Chambers, Don, Dixon, Timothy H., Bonin, Jennifer, van den Broeke, M. R., Yang, Qian, Ribergaard, Mads H., Mortensen, John, Myers, Paul G.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is an important component of ocean thermohaline circulation. Melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is freshening the North Atlantic; however, whether the augmented freshwater flux is disrupting the AMOC is unclear. Dense Labrador Sea Water (LSW),...

The LAB60 simulation is a coupled ocean sea-ice model (NEMO) that uses grid refinement to achieve high resolution (1/60 of a degree) within the Labrador Sea. This simulation starts in 2002 and will cover a period of over 10 years. This video shows the relative vorticity of the upper 55m ocean...

Garcia-Quintana, Yarisbel, Courtois, Peggy, Hu, Xianmin, Pennelly, Clark, Kieke, Dagmar, Myers, Paul G.
Labrador Sea Water (LSW) is one of the main contributors to the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. In this study, we explore the sensitivity of LSW formation to model resolution, Greenland melt, absence of high-frequency atmospheric phenomena, and changes in...

Sensitivity of the subpolar North Atlantic to Last Glacial Maximum surface forcing and sea ice distribution in an eddy-permitting regional ocean model
Download2006
Myers, Paul G., Bush, Andrew B. G., Yang, Duo
The impact of paleoatmospheric forcing and sea ice distribution on the circulation of the subpolar North Atlantic is examined in a regional eddy-permitting ocean model. We focus on water mass formation and the pathway of the North Atlantic Current. Paleofluxes are obtained from a coupled...

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...
