Effect of enhanced melt from Greenland Ice sheet? Warming of our climate is melting Greenland glaciers Greenland ice sheet mass loss trend 2003-2008 (237km3/yr) Deep convection in the Labrador Sea Sea level rise Increase freshwater input in Baffin Bay Two important implications of the melting of Greenland ice sheet on which there is continuous research are the impact of Greenland ice-sheet melt on sea level rise, and this is because of the possibly displacement of many costal cities, and its impact on deep convection and thus the global ocean circulation. So far Greenland glaciers melt is attributed with only 1/4th of the recent total sea level raise. (REF) The effect of Deep water formation in the Labrador Sea and the global circulation still need to be investigated. Some say it will slow down the circulation and others that if eddies are taken into account it will not affect the circulation (REF). But an aspect that has not been addressed is the impact of melting Greenland Ice sheet on Baffin Bay, ecosystem and circulation. Siting right next to the northwest Greenland (one of the margins with the accelerated runoff) Baffin Bay will directly receive a large portion of the runoff. We are concern with what happen on Bafffin Bay not only because the signal can be transmitted to the Labrador Sea, but also because Baffin Bay is healthy ecosystem that serves as a sanctuary for Bowhead whales that were hunted to almost extension in the last century, it is Beluga feeding ground, it is Turbot fish nursery, and in winter, the northwater polynya in the north of Baffin Bay is an oasis for many animals and like elder duck, and an important hunting ground to inuit. Therefore, To address the impact of increase freshwater input in Baffin Bay on the hydrography, circulation and exchanges, we design set of 9 experiments with different amounts of runoff added with an idealized seasonal cycle. The first experiment is actually the control ran with Core perpetual year, and from 2 to 9 the experiments have increasing amounts of runoff from 158 to 1580 kilometer cubic per year, these amounts were chosen to engulf the estimated observed mass loss. Experiments 1 to 9: Exp. 1 Control run Exp. 2- 9 enhance melt from west Greenland, between 158- 1580 km3/yr Hydrography? Circulation? Exchanges? Feedbacks?
