The investigators will develop an Arctic Ocean circulation model coupled to a sea ice model on two spatial grids. The model numerical will allow the researchers to investigate the input of Pacific Ocean water and the outflow of Arctic Ocean water to the Atlantic so that not only the circulation within the Arctic Ocean is simulated but also the important inputs and outputs are derived. The model should produce a very realistic circulation that may be examined for changing climatic conditions to determine the climatic effect on both Arctic Ocean circulation and the effects of that circulation on the North Atlantic Ocean. The model will provide a framework for other studies in the Arctic that require a predictive capability for ocean circulation in areas of the Arctic ocean where no observational data exists.

研究人员将在两个空间网格上开发一个北冰洋环流模型和一个海冰模型。模式数值将使研究人员能够研究太平洋水的输入和北冰洋水向大西洋的流出，这样不仅可以模拟北冰洋内部的环流，而且可以推导出重要的输入和输出。该模式应产生一个非常真实的环流，可以对变化的气候条件进行检验，以确定气候对北冰洋环流的影响以及该环流对北大西洋的影响。该模式将为北极其他研究提供一个框架，这些研究需要在没有观测数据存在的北冰洋地区具有海洋环流预测能力。
