Monitoring the Arctic Ocean
Abstract
The past few years have demonstrated extraordinarily large and rapid changes in the arctic marine environment, including basin-wide shifts in nutrient distributions, large subsurface warming, and widespread fine structure extending into the interior from the thermally perturbed boundary currents. We seek a quantitative understanding of the processes responsible for these changes, looking toward a physically realistic and mechanistically based predictive capability.
