"Spin top Arctic Ocean"
Town Hall Meeting at Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2021
23 March 2020, 16:00-18:00 GMT
online
This "all hands on deck" call is aimed to review our understanding of the future Arctic Ocean as an open ocean, to identify the gaps in this understanding and draw a roadmap how these can be closed. Given the Arctic Ocean will be open for the most part of the year, what will it be like with accelerated ocean currents, energetic eddies and waves? How will the open state affect the other components of the system?
The planned meeting outcome is a community paper to facilitate the UN Ocean Decade initiatives starting this year. More details about the meeting will be soon available at: https://assw2021.pt/?accao=detailedprogram and https://assw2021.pt/?accao=businessprogram#cbp=business-program/34open-23.html
Tentative discussion points:
- Seasonally ice-free Arctic and "new" regimes of large-scale ocean circulation
- Accelerated ocean currents at meso- and submesoscales
- Enhanced ocean mixing (via more efficient near-inertial and tidal internal wave generation, etc.)
- Energetic wind waves…
We welcome everybody to suggest prospective discussion points to be raised during the THM, so that we could elaborate a more detailed THM plan together.
Please add your suggestions to the list of Tentative discussion points above
preferably by 15 March 2021 in this google doc:
