The ocean moderates the world's climate through absorption of heat and carbon, but how much carbon will continue to absorb remains unknown. North Atlantic Ocean west (Baffin Bay/Labrador Sea) east (Fram Strait/Greenland Greenland features most intense anthropogenic globally; biological pump (BCP) contributes substantially. As Arctic sea-ice melts, BCP changes, impacting global other critical attributes (e.g. biodiversity). Full understanding requires year-round observations across a range...
Abstract At high latitudes, submesoscale dynamics act on scales of (100 m–1 km) and are associated with the breakdown geostrophic balance, vertical velocities, energy cascading to small scales. Submesoscale features such as fronts, filaments, eddies ubiquitous in marginal ice zones forced by large horizontal density gradients. In July 2020, we identified multiple fronts filaments using a towed undulating vehicle near sea edge central Fram Strait, oceanic gateway Arctic Ocean between...
The 77th cruise of the RV MARIA S. MERIAN contributed to various large national and international research infrastructure projects (FRAM, ARCHES, INTAROS, ICOS, SIOS) as well programme PACES-II (Polar Regions Coasts in changing Earth System) Alfred-Wegener-Institute Helmholtz-Center for Polar Marine Research (AWI). Investigations within Work Package 4 (Arctic sea ice its interaction with ocean ecosystems) programme, aim at assessing quantifying ecosystem changes from surface waters deep...
