Description
Summary:This report is in two parts - an experimental one and a theoretical one. The experimental part, written by K.D. Sabinin and V.T. Sokolov, with assistance from P.N. Golovin, V. Yu. Karpy, and N.V. Lebedev, is devoted to a description of the oceanographic fields in the Arctic Basin and the variability of these fields, in 1973-1979, using data of oceanographic surveys in the High-latitudinal Expeditions "Sever." Special attention was paid to Atlantic Water in the Arctic Ocean which seems to be the main source of information in acoustic monitoring of the ocean, in the framework of the Arctic-ATOC program. The theoretical part of the report written by A.S. Sarkisyan and N.G. Iakovlev deals with numerical modeling of the present state of the Arctic Ocean thermohaline structure and circulation, as well as with changes in the thermobaline fields which may take place in the ocean after a 100% increase of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
