THE THERMODYNAMICS OF SUBSURFACE WARM WATER IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN
北冰洋次表层暖水形成机制的研究

Subsurface Warm Water (SWW) is a phenomenon frequently observed in the most part of Canadian basins, which presents a temperature peak under sea ice at the depth of 20 m. A thermodynamically coupled sea ice-upper ocean column model was developed in this paper to examine the thermodynamics of SWW. Using this model, the SWW was numerically simulated and proved successful. The result is consistent with the observed results. The mechanism of the SWW formation was proved able to generate by both solar radiation ...
