Iceberg Contribution to ECCO Upgrade and Performance (ICEUP)
Sara Jensen

Is the freshwater forcing from Greenland used in ECCOV4 realistic?

Results

  • The upper ocean is getting fresher both in winter and in summer.
  • We see more sea ice in winter (in the Nordic seas) and less sea ice in summer (north of Greenland).

Conclusions

  • The new freshwater field agrees with data from GEUS in terms of annual total flux
  • Improvements in code needed especially in projecting the fields to ECCO grids and it could be updated to work on grids with higher resolution than LLC90
