| Abstract | have been changed. In particular, a much more robust wind forcing was obtained by replacing the monthly mean wind fields with a 3D-year means in order to obtain a seasonal forcing closer to climatology. With regard to the ice rheology, a cavitating fluid model in spherical coordinates which fully conserves ice mass and ai r sea heat exchanges was employed. The idea here is to attenuate less of the stress into the ocean so that even though the circulation is somewhat sluggish due to large viscous damping, a reasonable current field for the Arctic Basin might be obtained. Two types of prognostic circulation experiments were carried out with this model using different southern boundary conditions. In one case, a diagnostic relaxation near the boundary as used by Hibler and Bryan (1987) was employed. In this case, heat mass and salt transports through the southern boundary are essentially simulated. In the second case, the net burotropic flow through the FaeroShetland passage and Denmark Strait were specified with the baroc1inic transports partially specified by diagnostic relaxation terms . The results from both these models are analyzed with special attention to the ice edge location and the character of the baroclinic fields in the Arctic Basin. |
