• Arctic Amplification of Precipitation Changes—The Energy Hypothesis 

      Pithan, FelixORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-11-06)
      Temperature and precipitation change more strongly in the Arctic than at lower latitudes, with central Arctic boreal winter precipitation projected to double in the 21st century in a high‐emission scenario. This enhanced ...
    • Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Arctic Ocean From a Global Simulation With a 1-km Arctic 

      Wang, QiangORCIDiD; Koldunov, Nikolay V.ORCIDiD; Danilov, SergeyORCIDiD; Sidorenko, DmitryORCIDiD; Wekerle, ClaudiaORCIDiD; Scholz, PatrickORCIDiD; Bashmachnikov, Igor L.ORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
      Simulating Arctic Ocean mesoscale eddies in ocean circulation models presents a great challenge because of their small size. This study employs an unstructured-mesh ocean-sea ice model to conduct a decadal-scale global ...
    • Fast EVP Solutions in a High-Resolution Sea Ice Model 

      Koldunov, Nikolay V.ORCIDiD; Danilov, SergeyORCIDiD; Sidorenko, DmitryORCIDiD; Hutter, NilsORCIDiD; Losch, MartinORCIDiD; Goessling, HelgeORCIDiD; Rakowsky, NataljaORCIDiD; Scholz, PatrickORCIDiD; Sein, DmitryORCIDiD; Wang, QiangORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019)
      Sea ice dynamics determine the drift and deformation of sea ice. Nonlinear physics, usually expressed in a viscous-plastic rheology, makes the sea ice momentum equations notoriously difficult to solve. At increasing sea ...
    • Intensification of the Atlantic Water Supply to the Arctic Ocean Through Fram Strait Induced by Arctic Sea Ice Decline 

      Wang, QiangORCIDiD; Wekerle, ClaudiaORCIDiD; Wang, XuezhuORCIDiD; Danilov, SergeyORCIDiD; Koldunov, NikolayORCIDiD; Sein, DmitryORCIDiD; Sidorenko, DmitryORCIDiD; von Appen, Wilken-JonORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
      Substantial changes have occurred in the Arctic Ocean in the last decades. Not only sea ice has retreated significantly, but also the ocean at middepth showed a warming tendency. By using simulations we identified a mechanism ...
    • Ocean Heat Transport Into the Barents Sea: Distinct Controls on the Upward Trend and Interannual Variability 

      Wang, QiangORCIDiD; Wang, XuezhuORCIDiD; Wekerle, ClaudiaORCIDiD; Danilov, SergeyORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD; Koldunov, NikolayORCIDiD; Lind, SigridORCIDiD; Sein, DmitryORCIDiD; Shu, QiORCIDiD; Sidorenko, DmitryORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2019)
      Ocean heat transport through the Barents Sea Opening (BSO) has strong impacts on the Barents Sea ice extent and the climate. In this paper we quantified the contributions from different atmospheric forcing components to ...
    • Predictability of Antarctic Sea Ice Edge on Subseasonal Time Scales 

      Zampieri, LorenzoORCIDiD; Goessling, Helge F.ORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2019)
      Coupled subseasonal forecast systems with dynamical sea ice have the potential of providing important predictive information in polar regions. Here, we evaluate the ability of operational ensemble prediction systems to ...
    • The Arctic Ocean in CMIP6 Models: Biases and Projected Changes in Temperature and Salinity 

      Khosravi, NargesORCIDiD; Wang, QiangORCIDiD; Koldunov, NikolayORCIDiD; Hinrichs, ClaudiaORCIDiD; Semmler, TidoORCIDiD; Danilov, SergeyORCIDiD; Jung, ThomasORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2022-02-11)
      We examine the historical evolution and projected changes in the hydrography of the deep basin of the Arctic Ocean in 23 climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). The ...
