Is the oceanic heat transport with Atlantic water towards the Arctic changing? from space Heat by winds by ocean currents Steingrímur Jónsson, University of Akureyri & Marine Research Institute Héðinn Valdimarsson, Marine Research Institute, Reykjavik Bogi Hansen, Faroe Marine Research Institute, Tórshavn Karin Margretha H.

Atlantic inflow volume transport Inflowing Atlantic water (millions m3/second) AGU, 2003 No trend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No trend No weakening Iceland branch Faroe branch Shetland branch image:AGU 2003

Atlantic inflow volume transport Inflowing Atlantic water (millions m3/second) Iceland branch Faroe branch Shetland branch Atlantic inflow volume transport image:AGU 2003

Total Atlantic Volume Inflow 1997-2011 8.5 Sv (Østerhus et al. 2005) New results 0.7 Sv 7.0 Sv +- 1 Sv Hansen et al. 2010, Jonsson and Valdimarsson 2012, Berx et al. 2013

Combining in-situ measurements and altimetry to estimate volume, heat and salt transport variability through the Faroe Shetland Channel Berx, Hansen, Østerhus, K. M. Larsen, T. Sherwin, and K. Jochumsen, (2013).

Volume budget ”Old numbers” ( 1 Sv = 106 m3/s ) 2.5 Sv Q = 8.5 Sv (Østerhus et al. 2005) 6 Sv

Volume budget ”New numbers” ( 1 Sv = 106 m3/s ) 2.5 -? Sv Q = 7.0 +- Sv 6 -? Sv assumption: Bering Strait inflow ~ West of Greenland outflow. English Channel ~ NaN

Heat Transport Heat import = c · Q · ΔT ≈ c · Q · T Volume transport: Q Heat import = c · Q · ΔT ≈ c · Q · T Temperature: T Cooling: ΔT

Atlantic inflow temperature 1950 – 2010 Heat import = c · Q · T Shetland branch Faroe branch Iceland branch

Temperature changes from Rockall to Fram Strait 1950-2008 Temperature anomaly 0-500 m C Holliday et al. GRL (2008)

Temperature in Atlantic layer at station M 1948-2010 Monthly mean Yearly mean

The effect of SPG shrinkage (Hakkinen & Rhines, 2004; Hátún et al., 2005) Before 1995 After 1995 Warmer and more saline

Observed and simulated gyre index (SSH averaged for 60°W–15°W, 48°N–65°N) 3.0 1.5 -1.5 -3.0 Strong Weak Lohman et al. (2009)

Weak and Strong Gyre index 3.0 1.5 -1.5 -3.0 Strong Lohman et al. (2009) Weak Atlantic Water Temperature in the Nordic Seas (M)

Conclusions: There is no indication for a change in the volume transport,1997-2011 But there is an indication that the oceanic heat (and salt) transport towards the European Arctic has increased since 1995 due to increased water temperature but!
