New NSF project on impacts freshwater on the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean

New NSF project on impacts freshwater on the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean
Tom has been awarded a new NSF grant entitled “Impacts of Arctic freshwater export on the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean circulation“. This study seeks to understand how the melting of Arctic ice and extra Arctic precipitation can influence the ocean currents in the North Atlantic. The study also asks how much of the Arctic meltwater...

Using Hydraulic Theory to Monitor Dense Overflows in a Parabolic Channel

Using Hydraulic Theory to Monitor Dense Overflows in a Parabolic Channel
Dr. Atousa Saberi, a former graduate student in our group, has published a paper in the Journal of Physical Oceanography. The work is based on her PhD thesis and concerns monitoring of deep overflows, for example through the Faroe Bank Channel. The abstract reads: Deep ocean passages are advantageous sites for long term monitoring of...
