• Freshwater and its role in the Arctic Marine System: Sources, disposition, storage, export, and physical and biogeochemical consequences in the Arctic and global oceans 

      Carmack, Eddy C.; Yamamoto-Kawai, Michiyo; Haine, Thomas W.N.; Bacon, Sheldon; Bluhm, Bodil; Lique, Camille; Melling, Humfrey; Polyakov, Igor V.; Straneo, Fiamma; Timmermans, Mary Louise E.; Williams, William J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-11)
      The Arctic Ocean is a fundamental node in the global hydrological cycle and the ocean’s thermohaline circulation. We here assess the system’s key functions and processes: (1) the delivery of fresh and low-salinity waters to the Arctic Ocean by river inflow, net precipitation, distillation during the freeze/thaw cycle, and Pacific Ocean inflows; (2) the disposition (e.g., sources, pathways, and ...

      The Sea surface KInematics Multiscale monitoring (SKIM) satellite mission is designed to explore ocean surface current and waves. This includes tropical currents, notably the poorly known patterns of divergence and their impact on the ocean heat budget, and monitoring of the emerging Arctic up to 82.5°N. SKIM will also make unprecedented direct measurements of strong currents, from boundary currents ...
