Abstract

"The Processes controlling dense water formation and transport on Arctic continental shelves". This Project was led by Prof Andrew Willmott of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, with co-investigators at the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory and Keele University.

This dataset contains parameterisations for dense water production in polynyas for application in non-polynya resolving ocean circulation models, and results of the testing of these in a coupled sea ice-shelf sea POLCOMS-CICE model of the Barents Sea.
