• Tidally-forced lee waves drive turbulent mixing along the Arctic Ocean margins 

      Fer, Ilker; Koenig, Zoé Charlotte; Kozlov, Igor E.; Ostrowski, Marek; Rippeth, Tom; Padman, L.; Bosse, Anthony; Kolås, Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In the Arctic Ocean, limited measurements indicate that the strongest mixing below the atmospherically forced surface mixed layer occurs where tidal currents are strong. However, mechanisms of energy conversion from tides ...
    • Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean 

      Polyakov, Igor V.; Rippeth, Tom; Fer, Ilker; Alkire, Matthew B.; Carmack, Eddy; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Ivanov, Vladimir V.; Janout, Markus; Lind, Sigrid; Padman, Laurie; Pnyushkov, Andrey V.; Rember, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 m) ...
