Little Diomede Island, Bering Strait BERING STRAIT THROUGHFLOW ARC Comparison of Water Properties and Flows in the U.S. and Russian Channels of the Bering Strait to 2006 Rebecca Woodgate, University of Washington ARC The Pacific Gateway to the Arctic- Quantifying and Understanding Bering Strait Oceanic Fluxes - Rebecca Woodgate (University of Washington), - Tom Weingartner (Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks), - Terry Whitledge (Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks), - Ron Lindsay (University of Washington) in collaboration with - NOAA RUSALCA (Russian-American Long Term Census of the Arctic) program, (Kathy Crane, and John Calder) - Russian PIs at Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), especially the team of Igor Lavrenov - Knut Aagaard (UW). Ed Carmack (IOS, Canada).... and others.. With thanks to Jim Johnson, Seth Danielson, Dave Leech, Mike Schmidt, and crews of the Alpha Helix, the Laurier, and the Sever

Comparison of Water Properties and Flows in the U.S. and Russian Channels of the Bering Strait to 2006 STATUS AND PROGRESS Woodgate, Aagaard, Weingartner, 2007, FIRST STEPS IN CALIBRATING THE BERING STRAIT THROUGHFLOW: Preliminary study of how measurements at a proposed climate site (A3) compare to measurements within the two channels of the strait (A1 and A2), UW Technical Report, 20pp, /psc.apl.washington.edu/BeringStrait.html 85km wide, 50m deep, split US-Russia ~ 0.8 Sv, large seasonal & interannual variation (TS) Important fluxes of heat, freshwater, nutrients MODIS SST 26 th Aug 04, courtesy NASA 1 year of moorings (A2, A3, A4) = 3 years of concurrent US-Russian data ( , , ) Hypothesis: A3 is a “useful” proxy of total flow Velocity – v good, just needs calibration Temperature – fair, need to get mechanisms Salinity – poor, need to get mechanisms Transport – v good (r>0.97), just needs calibration Freshwater – ditto, (r>0.94), but needs calibration Heat – better than just T (r>0.93), but needs calibration FW flux strongly f(volume) Heat flux mostly f(volume) Moorings present

The Pacific Gateway to the Arctic- Quantifying and Understanding Bering Strait Oceanic Fluxes STATUS AND PROGRESS AIMS: 1) UNDERSTAND DYNAMICS 2) QUANTIFY FLUXES heat, freshwater, nutrients,chlorophyll (WITH Alaskan Coastal Current and stratification) 3) DESIGN MONITORING NETWORK (including remote data sources) WORK: == 8 MOORINGS ( ) - velocity profiling (ADCP) - upper layer T-S (ISCAT ice-avoidance sensors) - bottom pressure gauges - nitrate and biooptics sensors == ANNUAL CTD SECTIONS == SATELLITE SST and SSH Your instrument here!!!!
