HL02: The Arctic Ocean's Changing Beaufort Gyre
Conveners: Mary-Louise Timmermans, Isabela Le Bras, Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer, and Bill Williams
The Beaufort Gyre is one of the Arctic Ocean’s main sea-ice and ocean circulation systems, its major freshwater reservoir, and a centerpiece for Arctic and global change. In recent decades, ocean changes in the Beaufort Gyre region have been as prominent as the disappearing sea-ice cover, with conspicuous examples being the marked increases in ocean freshwater and heat content, and ocean acidification. In order to make viable future predictions, it is imperative to understand how the Beaufort Gyre system works and how it is changing. A host of themes are important, including atmosphere-ice-ocean interrelationships, dynamical balances and energetics of the ocean-ice system, and changes in freshwater and heat content with implications for sea-ice, stratification, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem response. This session invites submissions that investigate the physical and biogeochemical characteristics and dynamics of the Beaufort Gyre system. Conveners encourage studies that encompass in-situ and remote sensing observations, process studies, and theoretical and modeling approaches to better understand and predict the changing Arctic.
