Validation of the Ocean Component of PIPS3.0

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand and model Arctic Ocean circulation. We do this by analyzing numerical model output as well as large hydrographic data sets, and comparing the two for model validation purposes. It has recently been recognized that the high latitude seas force changes in the world ocean circulation; we seek to understand this forcing and better model it.
