Presented by Sheldon Bacon, National Oceanography Centre, UK, at the ESA-CliC Earth Observation and Arctic Science Priorities Meeting, Norway, 2015

Considering the Arctic Ocean (including sea ice) as a defined volume, we develop equations describing the time-varying fluxes of mass and freshwater into, and storage of those quantities within, that volume.  Fluxes and storage of mass and freshwater are illustrated using output from a numerical model.  Initial validation of the approach using in situ and remote-sensed measurements is described.

The atmosphere-ocean boundary layer in which sea ice resides includes many complex processes that require a more realistic treatment in GCMs, particularly as models move toward full earth system descriptions. The primary purpose of the workshop was to define and discuss such coupled processes...
