Constraining CMIP6 simulations for the Atlantic Water in the Arctic
New study published with support from ObsSea4Clim! The study aims to improve the representation of the Atlantic Water layer in the Arctic Ocean within #CMIP6 climate model simulations. This is crucial because Atlantic Water inflow significantly influences Arctic climate change, yet current models show large biases and uncertainty. By selecting…

Studying Arctic Marginal Ice Zone
Arctic sea ice is thinning and retreating because of global warming. Thus, the region is transitioning to a new state featuring an expansion of the marginal ice zone – a region where sea ice interacts with the open ocean. A new paper published in EGUsphere explores how accurate the Global…

Study of ice-free feature in Weddell Sea, Antarctica
A new study has been published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science journal (Nature portfolio), supported by ObsSea4Clim! The authors investigate an unusual extensive ice-free feature (EIF) within the pack ice that developed in the central Weddell Sea in December 1980 on the edge of the multi-year sea ice off…
