Description

This animation is associated with the article: A high-resolution coupled ice-ocean model of winter circulation on the Bering Sea Shelf. Part II: Polynyas and the shelf salinity distribution , publishd in Ocean Modeling in 2020, authors Scott Durski and Alexander Kurapov. The animation shows the average age of the seasonal sea ice for the winter of 2009-10 from a simulation of a coupled sea ice-ocean model. 10m wind vectors are overaid.
