🌊Where and how is dense water in the Arctic formed? In our new paper, we decompose the Arctic overturning circulation (ArMOC), the northernmost part of the AMOC. Check it out 🔽

AMOC is upheld by cooling in the north. But where is north? @jakobdoerr.bsky.social and colleagues from the Bjerknes Centre, @unibergen.bsky.social, @nansensenteret.bsky.social, @stockholm-uni.bsky.social and @noc.ac.uk investigate dense water formation in the Arctic. bjerknes.uib.no/en/news/golf...
The warm Gulf Stream is maintained by coldness. The Barents Sea is a cooling machine.
Abstract. The Arctic is the northernmost terminus of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and is an important source of the densest waters feeding its lower limb. However, relatively little...
From sea ice to the atmosphere, Earth’s systems are more interconnected than you think! Take a tour with this interactive illustration and see how climate models help scientists uncover the mysteries of our planet.🧪

Good news for the Gulf Stream! A study from @unibergen.bsky.social, the Bjerknes Centre and @ox.ac.uk indicates that the Arctic Ocean compensates for less deep water formation farther south. @mariusarthun.bsky.social @ailinbrakstad.bsky.social @jakobdoerr.bsky.social

By applying a tracking method to both climate models and satellite data, @davyclimate.bsky.social found that sea ice age is a more sensitive indicator of change than ice thickness or volume.

We have a new paper out today taking a fresh look at sea ice age, showing how this variable offers new insights into Arctic climate change:
A Fair Assessment of Sea Ice Age Reduces Bias and Gives New Insight to Arctic Sea Ice Dynamics

We applied the same algorithm for diagnosing sea ice age in observations to a climate model for the first time The derived sea ice age reproduces the model dynamics but has much lower bias compar...
