NUMERICAL MODELING OF THE VERTICAL HEAT TRANSPORT THROUGH THE DIFFUSIVE LAYER OF THE ARCTIC OCEAN

The Arctic Ocean has been a subject of increasing interest in recent years due to the reduction of the sea-ice thickness and spatial coverage and its implications for climate change. The future state of the Arctic is likely to be linked to vertical heat transport by microscale processes, specificall...
