Water mass transformation in the Barents Sea -- application of the Hamburg Shelf Ocean Model (HamSOM)
The bottom water formation in the Barents Sea plays an important role in the maintenance of the Arctic halocline. Deep water is partly formed by haline convection caused by brine release during ice growth. To investigate this process, the HAMburg Shelf Ocean Model (HAMSOM) was coupled to a dynamic a...
