An Extended Analysis of Time Series and Hydrographic Data with Reference to Shelf-Basin Interactions: Final Report

Abstract

Our objective is to analyze data from the western Arctic Ocean and its adjacent seas in order to provide a measure of the variability of the shelf-basin system that is observationally based; identify, and where possible quantify, the important physical mechanisms controlling this system; contribute to the Shelf-Basin Interaction initiative (SBI), particularly in understanding the mechanisms of shelf-basin exchange; and promote further improvements in the rapidly growing array of models of arctic circulation and hydrographic structures and their variability, including providing patterns and statistics against which to test the fidelity of these models,
