Modeling The Seasonal Sea Ice Cycle In The Ross Sea, Antarctica, Yusuf Sinan Hûsrevoğlu
Modeling The Seasonal Sea Ice Cycle In The Ross Sea, Antarctica, Yusuf Sinan Hûsrevoğlu
OES Theses and Dissertations
A mesoscale resolution (5 km) regional ocean model (ROMS), coupled thermodynamically/dynamically to a sea ice model (CICE) and thermodynamically to an ice shelf is used to investigate Ross Sea seasonal sea ice cycle, polynya dynamics, distribution and transformations of continental shelf water masses, and bottom water formation. Daily atmospheric forcing is from the ECMWF ERA-40 dataset, and for a separate simulation, wind forcing for Terra Nova Bay is substituted from daily automatic weather station (AWS) data. Simulated Ross Sea sea ice concentration reproduces the winter lead opening events observed in the SSM/I signal; however, it underestimates open water area (rmsd …
Variability Of Sea Ice Cover In The Chukchi Sea (Western Arctic Ocean) During The Holocene, Anne De Vernal, Claude Hillaire-Marcel, Dennis A. Darby
Variability Of Sea Ice Cover In The Chukchi Sea (Western Arctic Ocean) During The Holocene, Anne De Vernal, Claude Hillaire-Marcel, Dennis A. Darby

Dinocysts from cores collected in the Chukchi Sea from the shelf edge to the lower slope were used to reconstruct changes in sea surface conditions and sea ice cover using modern analogue techniques. Holocene sequences have been recovered in a down-slope core (B15: 2135 m, 75°44'N, sedimentation rate of ~1cm kyr-1) and in a shelf core (P1: 201 m, 73°41'N, sedimentation rate of ~22 cm kyr-1). The shelf record spanning about 8000 years suggests high-frequency centennial oscillations of sea surface conditions and a significant reduction of the sea ice at circa 6000 and 2500 calendar (cal) …
Sources Of Sediment Found In Sea Ice From The Western Arctic Ocean, New Insights Into Processes Of Entrainment And Drift Patterns, Dennis A. Darby
Sources Of Sediment Found In Sea Ice From The Western Arctic Ocean, New Insights Into Processes Of Entrainment And Drift Patterns, Dennis A. Darby
OES Faculty Publications
The geochemical fingerprint of entrained Fe oxide mineral grains in Arctic Ocean sea ice is used to determine precise sources of this sediment. This approach substantiates the importance of the Laptev Sea as a source of sea ice and even the presence of Russian ice in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska. Fe oxide grains from the Laptev Sea were found in floes in the Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Borderland, and central Arctic Ocean, demonstrating the importance of sea ice in distributing itself throughout the Arctic Ocean and the potential of transporting sediment from Russian rivers to North American shelves. Banks Island …
Heat And Salt Changes On The Continental Shelf West Of The Antarctic Peninsula Between January 1993 And January 1994, John M. Klinck
Heat And Salt Changes On The Continental Shelf West Of The Antarctic Peninsula Between January 1993 And January 1994, John M. Klinck
CCPO Publications
Hydrographic measurements from four cruises between January 1993 and January 1994 over the continental shelf west of the Antarctic Peninsula allow analysis of seasonal changes in heat and salt content of this region. Changes above the permanent pycnocline (about 150 m) follow a seasonal pattern of cooling and increasing in salt from summer to winter and warming and freshening from winter to summer. These near-surface changes expressed as net heating or salting rate, were above 80 W m(-2) and 4 mg salt m(-2) s(-1). The year to year difference was small compared to the seasonal changes. There was no seasonal …
Regulation Of Algal Blooms In Antarctic Shelf Waters By The Release Of Iron From Melting Sea Ice, Peter N. Sedwick, Giacomo R. Ditullio

During summer 1995-96, we measured iron in the water column and conducted iron-enrichment bottle-incubation experiments at a station in the central Ross Sea (76°30'S, 170°40'W), first, in the presence of melting sea ice, and 17 days later, in ice-free conditions. We observed a striking temporal change in mixed-layer dissolved iron concentrations at this station, from 0.72-2.3 nM with sea ice present, to 0.16-0.17 nM in ice-free conditions. These changes were accompanied doubling of algal (diatom) biomass. Our incubation experiments suggest that conditions were iron-replete in the presence of sea ice, and iron-deficient in the absence of sea ice. We surmise …
