• 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 ...
    • Impact of Cyclonic Wind Anomalies Caused by Massive Winter Sea Ice Retreat in the Barents Sea on Atlantic Water Transport Toward the Arctic: A Model Study 

      Heukamp, Finn OleORCIDiD; Kanzow, TorstenORCIDiD; Wang, QiangORCIDiD; Wekerle, ClaudiaORCIDiD; Gerdes, RüdigerORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2023-03-15)
      The Arctic is warming much faster than the global average. This is known as Arctic Amplification and is caused by feedbacks in the local climate system. In this study, we explore a previously proposed hypothesis that an ...
    • 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 ...
    • Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx): 2. Evaluating Linear Kinematic Features in High‐Resolution Sea Ice Simulations 

      Hutter, NilsORCIDiD; Bouchat, AmélieORCIDiD; Dupont, FrédéricORCIDiD; Dukhovskoy, DmitryORCIDiD; Koldunov, NikolayORCIDiD; Lee, Younjoo J.ORCIDiD; Lemieux, Jean‐FrançoisORCIDiD; Lique, CamilleORCIDiD; Losch, MartinORCIDiD; Maslowski, WieslawORCIDiD; Myers, Paul G.ORCIDiD; Ólason, EinarORCIDiD; Rampal, Pierre; Rasmussen, TillORCIDiD; Talandier, Claude; Tremblay, BrunoORCIDiD; Wang, QiangORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022-04-23)
      Simulating sea ice drift and deformation in the Arctic Ocean is still a challenge because of the multiscale interaction of sea ice floes that compose the Arctic Sea ice cover. The Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) is a ...
    • 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 ...
    • Tropical Expansion Driven by Poleward Advancing Midlatitude Meridional Temperature Gradients 

      Yang, HuORCIDiD; Lohmann, GerritORCIDiD; Lu, JianORCIDiD; Gowan, Evan J.ORCIDiD; Shi, XiaoxuORCIDiD; Liu, Jiping; Wang, QiangORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020)
      An abundance of evidence indicates that the tropics are expanding. Despite many attempts to decipher the cause, the underlying dynamical mechanism driving tropical expansion is still not entirely clear. Here, based on ...
