I Vankova: Calving and Fjord Dynamics

Much of glacier mass is lost via calving, occasional events when glacier fronts break and fall off to the ocean. We would like to understand the conditions under which such events occur.

We have been conducting field research at Helheim glacier and adjacent Sermilik fjord. Yearly measurements of vertical salinity, temperature and pressure profiles give us a good estimate of the fjord water structure and a weather station installed at the glacier provides us with atmospheric data. Calving events cause strong perturbations in the fjord waters, which we were able to detect and separate from other signals. We will combine this with the rest of the data and with numerical models, and we hope to develop a better insight on this phenomenon.

This FrostByte was created by Irena Vankova for the Rising Coastal Seas On A Warming Earth Workshop, 27-29 October 2014 at the New York University Campus in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

R Hall: Drivers of North Atlantic Jet Stream Vaiability, 1870-2014

The North Atlantic jet stream shows considerable interannual variability. Much of this is due to internal atmospehric variability. However, there are a number of potential drivers of this variability, which are capable of nudging the jet stream. The research aims to identify these drivers scross all four seasons.

This Frostbyte was made by Richard J Hall for the Writing workshop "Linkage between Arctic Climate Change and Mid-latitude Weather Extremes". 2-7 September 2014 Seattle, WA, USA

E Hanna: The Jet Stream and Greenland Warming

Rapid summer warming in Greenland since the early 1990s is much greater than global warming over the same period. This Arctic amplification may well have consequences for the behaviour of the northern hemisphere polar jet stream: a giant river of airflow in the atmosphere which is driven by thermal contrast between tropical and polar air masses.
