1 Advancements and Limitations in Understanding and Predicting Arctic Climate Change Wieslaw Maslowski Naval Postgraduate School Collaborators: Jaclyn Clement Kinney, Rose Tseng, Timothy McGeehan - NPS Jaromir Jakacki, Robert Osinski - IOPAS Ron Kwok, Jay Zwally - NASA JPL/GSFC Sponsors: Outline: - Rate(s) of Arctic climate warming - Oceanic forcing of sea ice melt - Conclusions State of the Arctic Meeting, Miami, FL, March 2010
2 Observed Rate of Ice Extent (2-D) Loss Faster Than in GCMs SSM/I period Adapted from Stroeve et al., 2007
3 Observed Arctic sea ice extent (a,b) and modeled sea ice thickness (c,d) during September 1979 (a,c) and 2002 (b,c) SSM/I 2D 09/79 09/02 Observed/modeled reduction sea ice extent: 17-2 MODEL - 3D (Maslowski et al., 2007) Modeled ice thickness: m or ~35% Modeled rate of Arctic sea ice thinning faster than that of observed/modeled ice extent!

Siberian Sea Chukchi Sea Kara Sea North Pole Barents Sea Canadian Arctic Archipelago North Pole Beaufort Sea the long-term retreat of Arctic sea ice since 1979 in all seasons is due to factors other than wind-driven atmospheric thermal advection. Chukchi Sea - Deser and Teng, 2008 Canadian Arctic Archipelago Beaufort Sea (R. Tseng, NPS MS Thesis, 2010)
5 1/12 o Model domain and bathymetry Depth (m) 1 12 North American Channel Gateways/Margins of Pacific Water and Atlantic Water Inflow into the Arctic Ocean Main uncertainties of importance to global climate 1. Northward heat transport from the N. Atlantic/Pacific to Arctic Ocean * 2. Heat accumulating in the upper ocean due to the shrinking sea ice cover * 3. Arctic sea ice thickness and volume * 4. Sea Ice / Freshwater export from the Arctic to North Atlantic
![Flow Atlantic Water through the Barents Sea 1980 annual mean velocity [cm/s] at 0-223m [cm/s] Maslowski et al.](/docs-images/72/68013535/images/6-0.jpg "(2004 & 2008) More realistic representation of WSC and NCC in 9-km model Circulation around Central Bank, west of Novaya Zemlya Limited interaction")
6 Flow Atlantic Water through the Barents Sea 1980 annual mean velocity [cm/s] at 0-223m [cm/s] Maslowski et al. (2004 & 2008) More realistic representation of WSC and NCC in 9-km model Circulation around Central Bank, west of Novaya Zemlya Limited interaction between AW and NCC in the 18km model
![Annual mean (1983) velocity [cm/s] at 0-223](/docs-images/72/68013535/images/7-0.jpg "m in the Barents Sea 9-km 75 N 75 N 2-km")
7 Annual mean (1983) velocity [cm/s] at m in the Barents Sea 9-km 75 N 75 N 2-km NCC stronger and extended into the Kara Sea in 2km model Flow of Atlantic Water through Fram Strait / Barents Sea and heat release to the atmosphere depends on model resolution!
8 B Modeled (A) sea ice thickness (m) and heat content (TJ) (B: 0-120m; C: m winter) change between and A C m Origins of increased heat content possibly due to advection of warm water from shelves, anticyclonic eddies, slope upwelling / advection, local insulation
9 Modeled 26-yr Mean Depth Averaged (0-120 m) Circulation and Total Kinetic Energy in the Western Arctic Ocean Modeled sea ice thickness change (m) between and Modeled Upper Ocean Heat Content and Ice Thickness Anomalies (Annual Cycle Removed) Heat content accumulating in the sub-surface ocean since mid-1990s may explain over 6 of total ice thickness change
10 Oceanic advection and eddies transports heat from the Chukchi Shelf towards and under the ice cover MODIS SST 08/10/07 (Okkonen et al., JGR 2009) SST (0-5m) and velocity snapshot from the NPS 1/48 o 2.36 km) model on 08/15 SNACS 08/2005 off Barrow (courtesy of S. Okkonen Alaska Coastal Current accounts for ~67% of the Total Heat Export from the Chukchi Shelf (see 2 posters by J. Clement Kinney and R. Osinski) Modeled SSH and 0-25 m velocity in the Chukchi/Beaufort Sea
11 Eddy activities over the Northwind Ridge : Summer (JAS) mean EKE in the upper 110m from 1/48 o (left) and 1/12 o (right) model 2-km 9-km 03/14/09 Oceanic impact on sea ice in the western Arctic continues!
12 Arctic Sea Ice Volume Trends? Observational estimates (cyan / purple stars): - Obs Fall (ON) 07 volume <9000 km 3 (~2 uncertainty) - Negative volume trends: km 3 /yr - Combined (95-07) model / data linear volume trend of km 3 /yr projects ice-free fall by 2016 (±3yrs uncertainty ) - Some (?) sea ice may remain beyond due to increased ridging of thinner ice (Kwok et al., JGR 2009, Kwok & Cunnigham, JGR 2008) Lowest Winter (Feb-Mar) Arctic sea ice volume in 2009: km 3!!! (R. Kwok, NASA/JPL, Personal communication)
13 Conclusions 1. The rate of decrease of sea ice thickness and volume appears to be much greater than that of sea ice extent 2. Oceanic heat has contributed critical preconditioning to sea ice melt in the western Arctic since the mid-1990s 3. Near ice-free summer Arctic might become a reality much sooner than GCMs predict 4. A regional high-resolution Arctic Climate System Model can address GCM deficiencies and improve predictive skill of climate models at seasonal to decadal scales (presented by J. Cassano et al., Theme 1.3 at 2:30pm today)
