Two configurations of the western Arctic Shelfbreak Current in summer / Wilken-Jon van Appen, Robert S. Pickart.
Title: | Two configurations of the western Arctic Shelfbreak Current in summer / Wilken-Jon van Appen, Robert S. Pickart. |
Author(s): | Appen, Wilken-Jon van. Pickart, Robert S. |
Date: | 2012. |
In: | Journal of Physical Oceanography. (2012.), Vol. 42(3) (2012) |
Abstract: | Investigates Western Arctic Shelfbreak Current, using data from closely spaced array of moorings situated across Beaufort Sea shelfbreak at 152°W. Focuses on current's configuration during summer. Identifies two dynamically distinct states of current in absence of wind, with each lasting approx. one month. First is surface-intensified shelfbreak jet transporting warm and buoyant Alaskan Coastal Water in late summer. Second, present during early summer, is bottom-intensified shelfbreak current advecting weakly stratified Chukchi Summer Water. |
