Squamish (wind) - Wikipedia
A squamish (also known as an Arctic outflow wind in winter months) is a strong and often violent wind occurring in many of the fjords, inlets and valleys of British Columbia. Squamishes occur in those fjords oriented in a northeast–southwest or east–west direction where cold polar air can be funneled westward, the opposite of how the wind ...
Unprecedented decline of Arctic sea ice outflow in 2018
2022年4月1日 · The result indicates that a drastic change of the Arctic sea ice outflow and its environmental consequences happen not only through Arctic-wide ice thinning, but also by regional scale...
Arctic freshwater outflow suppressed Nordic Seas overturning …
2024年10月27日 · Our data suggest that southward outflow of Arctic freshwater supressed Nordic Seas deep-water formation and northward oceanic heat transport during the early LIG. These findings showcase the...
Regime shift in Arctic Ocean sea ice thickness | Nature
2023年3月15日 · Our study highlights the long-lasting impact of climate change on the Arctic sea ice through reduced residence time and its connection to the coupled ocean–sea ice processes in the adjacent...
Winter Arctic Outflow Winds Cause Upper Ocean Cooling and …
2023年8月17日 · Arctic outflow winds bring cold air from the continent to the coastline through mountain passes. Using observational data and a 2-D model, we show that a February 2019 outflow event caused the upper 100 m in Bute Inlet, British Columbia (within the traditional territory of the Homalco Nation) to cool up to 1.9°C and gain up to 4.1 mLL −1 of ...
The impacts of anomalies in atmospheric circulations on Arctic …
2023年11月3日 · The abnormally large Arctic sea ice outflow led to increased sea ice area (SIA) and thickness in the BGS, which has been observed since March 2020, especially in May–June.
Arctic sea ice motion change and response to atmospheric forcing ...
2021年8月14日 · Quantification of the spatial variability and long-term changes of Arctic sea ice motion is important for understanding the mechanisms of rapid Arctic sea ice decline because sea ice motion determines ice mass advection, outflow, thickness redistribution, as well as the formation of leads and ridges associated with ice deformation.
Polar outflow from the Arctic Ocean: A high resolution model …
2010年10月1日 · The Arctic polar outflow carries fresh and cold Arctic waters into the North Atlantic via two routes: west of Greenland, through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago into Labrador Sea, and east of Greenland, through Fram Strait into the Nordic Seas (comprising the Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas) (Dickson et al., 2007) (Fig. 1 a). The polar ...
Arctic Ocean outflow shelves in the changing Arctic: A review …
2015年12月1日 · Arctic outflow shelves are undergoing major hydrological and cryospheric changes. The Arctic outflow shelves respond differently to climate and ecosystem forcings. Model scenarios identify current and future productivity regimes. The contribution of outflow shelves to Arctic primary production is underestimated.
Arctic air over Western Canada has sent temperatures plunging.
2024年1月14日 · Environment Canada also issued an Arctic outflow warning for much of British Columbia's coast. While polar vortex refers to the large system of cold air sitting high over the region, Arctic...
