Study Introduces ArcMOC Metric to Track Arctic Ocean Circulation Changes Under Sea Ice Retreat
By
Published by sklee621
Summary
This article discusses a research study by Bretones et al. (2022) that uses long-term climate simulations (1850-2300) to examine how Arctic sea ice loss affects ocean circulation and deep-water formation. The study introduces a new metric called the Arctic meridional overturning circulation (ArcMOC) to track changes as deep-sea mixing shifts from the North Atlantic into the central Arctic due to winter sea ice retreat.
