ESR is happy to announce the release of ArcTiCA, a new Arctic Tidal Constituent Atlas. Susan Howard and Laurie Padman, from Earth and Space Research, were happy to be part of this international collaboration, led by Michael Hart-Davis. ArcTiCA provides … Read More
ESR’s Laurie Padman was a co-author on a recently published paper that describes how tidal currents in the Arctic Ocean create large high-frequency internal waves that cause ocean mixing. The paper was motivated by data he and colleagues collected … Read More
Watch as ESR’s Julian Schanze explains the “Salinity Snake”, a ship-mounted instrument that measures conditions within the top inch of the ocean surface. He is currently aboard the R/V Woldstad in the Arctic using the Salinity Snake to collect data … Read More
The Salinity Snake is at it again: As part of NASA’s SASSIE field campaign, ESR Scientist Julian Schanze is in the Arctic Ocean measuring surface salinity using the Salinity Snake. This measures salinity at the same depth as observed by … Read More
As part of NASA’s SASSIE (Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge) experiment, the R/V Woldstad will depart for the Beaufort Gyre from Nome, AK on Sept. 5th. ESR scientist Julian Schanze will be on board! Take a look … Read More
The Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge (SASSIE) team has just begun a comprehensive, three-month data collection mission to the Arctic Ocean. A fleet of Wave Gliders was just deployed in the Beaufort Sea. The goal of this … Read More
ESR recently released 2 new tide models in the Arctic region.: Arc2kmTM and Gr1kmTM. The Arctic 2km tide model (Arc2kmTM) and the Greenland 1km tide model (Gr1kmTM) are barotropic ocean tide models on a 2×2 km and 1×1 km polar … Read More
ESR’s polar research group provides tide models and validation datasets through the Arctic Data Center (ADC), which is the primary data and software repository for the Arctic section of National Science Foundation’s Office of Polar Programs (NSF OPP). We … Read More
Laurie Padman, ESR Vice-President and Senior Scientist, has been appointed Editor at the Journal of Geophysical Research (Oceans). His primary responsibility will be handling submitted papers on polar oceanography and its interactions with sea ice, ice shelves and ice … Read More
