A Process Oriented Study of Shallow Convection in Polar Oceans.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to obtain a better understanding of shallow ocean circulations beneath leads in sea ice associated with ice formation and brine rejection. We would also like to access the role of under ice boundary layer turbulence in mixing away the signature of haline convection beneath leads.
