• Atmospheric Wind Biases: A Challenge for Simulating the Arctic Ocean in Coupled Models? 

      Hinrichs, C.ORCIDiD; Wang, Q.ORCIDiD; Koldunov, N.ORCIDiD; Mu, L.ORCIDiD; Semmler, T.ORCIDiD; Sidorenko, D.ORCIDiD; Jung, T.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021-10-25)
      Many state‐of‐the‐art climate models do not simulate the Atlantic Water (AW) layer in the Arctic Ocean realistically enough to address the question of future Arctic Atlantification and its associated feedback. Biases ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • On the Along‐Slope Heat Loss of the Boundary Current in the Eastern Arctic Ocean 

      Schulz, KirstinORCIDiD; Janout, MarkusORCIDiD; Lenn, Yueng‐Djern; Ruiz‐Castillo, EugenioORCIDiD; Polyakov, IgorORCIDiD; Mohrholz, VolkerORCIDiD; Tippenhauer, SandraORCIDiD; Reeve, Krissy AnneORCIDiD; Hölemann, JensORCIDiD; Rabe, BenjaminORCIDiD; Vredenborg, MyrielORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021-02-15)
      This study presents recent observations to quantify oceanic heat fluxes along the continental slope of the Eurasian part of the Arctic Ocean, in order to understand the dominant processes leading to the observed along‐track ...
    • Winter Vertical Diffusion Rates in the Arctic Ocean, Estimated From 7Be Measurements and Dissipation Rate Profiles 

      Schulz, K.ORCIDiD; Kadko, D.ORCIDiD; Mohrholz, V.ORCIDiD; Stephens, M.ORCIDiD; Fer, I.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2023-02-14)
      Ocean turbulent mixing is a key process affecting the uptake and redistribution of heat, carbon, nutrients, oxygen and other dissolved gasses. Vertical turbulent diffusivity sets the rates of water mass transformations and ...
