Animation of the Average Age of Seasonal Ice in the Eastern Bering Sea - winter 2009-10

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. All ice entering the domain from the arctic is assumed to have formed on November 1st 2009. Refer to the publication for further details.

本动画关联的学术论文为《白令海陆架冬季环流的高分辨率海冰-海洋耦合模式 第二部分：冰间湖（polynyas）与陆架盐度分布》，该论文于2020年发表于《海洋建模（Ocean Modeling）》，作者为Scott Durski与Alexander Kurapov。本动画展示了基于海冰-海洋耦合模式（coupled ice-ocean model）模拟得到的2009-2010年冬季季节性海冰平均年龄，并叠加了10米高度的风场矢量。所有从北极进入研究区域的海冰，均假定其生成于2009年11月1日。更多细节请参阅该学术论文。
