Modeling the Formation and Offshore Transport of Dense Shelf Water from High-Latitude Coastal Polynyas
Abstract
Our long-term goal is to understand the role that dense water, formed on high-latitude continental shelves, plays in the thermohaline circulation of the Arctic Ocean and the maintenance of the mean hydrographic structure of the deep Arctic basins, e.g. the upper halocline.
