Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greenland-Scotland Ridge influences the exchange of warm and cold water masses between the North Atlantic and the Nordic Sea, a circulation with significant impact on global ocean circulation and climate. This study examines aspects of the exchange east of Iceland. Data from three years of intense Seaglider hydrographic surveys of the region are used. The dense overflows across the Iceland-Faroe Ridge (IFR) and Faroe Bank Channel (FBC) are investigated in Chapter 2. The flow of dense overflow on the Atlantic side of the IFR is found to be directed along-slope with speeds averaging 21.5 cm/s. The overflow/ambient interface lays parallel to the IFR topography. Mesoscale eddy deformation of the interface is generally small compared with the topographically induced slope. The mean FBC overflow transport is estimated at 1.8±0.2 Sv, and an indirect calculation produces a lower bound estimate of IFR overflow of 0.8 Sv. The dominant IFR overflow branch (mean 0.48 Sv) is at the northwestern end of the ridge, where a highly variable narrow jet along the Iceland shelf break transports dense water to the southwest. Chapter 3 outlines a method to infer dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy using Seaglider observations of finescale vertical velocity and density. The resulting Seaglider-inferred dissipation estimates compare well with observations made by a standard microstructure shear probe. Application of the method to the full set of Seaglider dives from the field campaign reveals regions of elevated dissipation and mixing which are crucial to the development of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) and the lower branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A seasonal flux of fresh water across the IFR is explored in Chapter 4. Low salinity thermohaline intrusions are subducted in winter time at the Iceland Faroe Front, injecting cold, fresh water into the large volume of Atlantic Subpolar Mode Water south of the ridge. The associated heat and salt flux are comparable to previous estimates of eddy induced and intrusion driven fluxes at the front. The heat and salt flux is inconsequential relative to the total heat and salt budgets of the Nordic Seas, but is important locally.

Book excerpt: " ... as soon as one has traversed the greater part of the wild sea, one comes upon such a huge quantity of ice that nowhere in the whole world has the like been known." "This ice is of a wonderful nature. It lies at times quite still, as one would expect, with openings or large fjords in it; but sometimes its movement is so strong and rapid as to equal that of a ship running before the wind, and it drifts against the wind as often as with it." Kongespeilet - 1250 A.D. ("The Mirror of Kings") Modern societies require increasing amounts influence on the water mass and on the resulting of scientific information about the environment total environment of the region; therefore, cer tain of its characteristics will necessarily be in whieh they live and work. For the seas this information must describe the air above the sea, included.

Download or read book Natural Climate Variability on Decade to Century Time Scales written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-08-30 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reflects the current state of scientific knowledge about natural climate variability on decade-to-century time scales. It covers a wide range of relevant subjects, including the characteristics of the atmosphere and ocean environments as well as the methods used to describe and analyze them, such as proxy data and numerical models. They clearly demonstrate the range, persistence, and magnitude of climate variability as represented by many different indicators. Not only do natural climate variations have important socioeconomic effects, but they must be better understood before possible anthropogenic effects (from greenhouse gas emissions, for instance) can be evaluated. A topical essay introduces each of the disciplines represented, providing the nonscientist with a perspective on the field and linking the papers to the larger issues in climate research. In its conclusions section, the book evaluates progress in the different areas and makes recommendations for the direction and conduct of future climate research. This book, while consisting of technical papers, is also accessible to the interested layperson.
