  • Fram Strait Ice Export During the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Reconstructed from a Multiyear Sea Ice Index from Southwestern Greenland
    2782 JOURNAL OF CLIMATE VOLUME 16 Fram Strait Ice Export during the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Reconstructed from a Multiyear Sea Ice Index from Southwestern Greenland TORBEN SCHMITH AND CARSTEN HANSEN* Danish Climate Centre, Danish Meteorological Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark (Manuscript received 8 May 2002, in ®nal form 30 January 2003) ABSTRACT Historical observations of multiyear ice, called ``storis,'' in the southwest Greenland waters exist from the period 1820±2000, obtained from ship logbooks and ice charts. It is argued that this ice originates in the Arctic Ocean and has traveled via the Fram Strait, southward along the Greenland coast in the East Greenland Current, and around the southern tip of Greenland. Therefore, it is hypothesized that these observations can be used as ``proxies'' for reconstructing the Fram Strait ice export on an annual basis. An index describing the storis extent is extracted from the observations and a linear statistical model formulated relating this index to the Fram Strait ice export. The model is calibrated using ice export values from a hindcast study with a coupled ocean±ice model over the period 1949±98. Subsequently, the model is used to reconstruct the Fram Strait annual ice export in the period 1820±2000. The model has signi®cant skill, calculated on independent data. Based on this reconstruction, it is discussed how time periods with large and small ice export on multidecadal timescales coincide with time periods of cold and warm North Atlantic sea surface temperatures reported by others. This implies that trend studies based on satellite observations should be regarded with some care, since the time period of satellite observations, the last decades, where a particularly strong negative trend is observed in the ice export, is preceded by a time period with a positive trend.

  • Melges Promo
    # THE WORLD LEADER IN PERFORMANCE ONE DESIGN RACING # # MELGES.COM # # MELGES.COM MELGES BOAT WORKS, INC. was founded by Harry C. Melges, Sr. in 1945. Melges became an instant leader in scow boat design, production and delivery in the U.S., particularly in the Midwest. Harry, Sr. initially built boats out of wood. The first boats produced were flat-bottomed row boats, which provided a core business to keep his vision and the company alive. It wasn't long before he branched into race boat production delivering the best hulls, sails, spars, covers and accessories ensuring his customers stayed on the competitive cutting-edge. Melges (pronounced mel•gis), is one of the most reputable, recognized and respected family names in the sailing industry. The devotion, generosity, perseverance and passion that surrounds the name is undeniable. It will forever be a legendary symbol of quality, excellence and experience that is second-to-none. Early on Harry Sr.’s son, Harry “Buddy” Melges, Jr. was involved in operating the family boat building business. Over time, Buddy established an impressive collection of championship titles and Olympic medals. During the 1964 Olympics, Buddy was awarded a bronze medal in the Flying Dutchman and in 1968 won a gold medal at the Pan Am Games. In 1972, he won a gold medal in the Soling in Kiel, Germany — the Soling’s official debut in Olympic competition. In the years that followed, Buddy won over 60 major national and international sailing championship titles. They include the Star in 1978 and 1979; 5.5 Metre in 1967, 1973 and 1983; International 50 Foot World Cup in 1989; Maxi in 1991 and the National E Scows in 1965, 1969, 1978, 1979 and 1983.

The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced.

  • Particle-Laden Eurasian Arctic Sea Ice: Observations from July and August 1987
    Particle-laden Eurasian Arctic sea ice: observations from July and August 1987 STEPHANIE PFIRMAN, JEAN-CLAUDE GASCARD, INGO WOLLENBURG, PETA MUDIE AND ANDREA ABELMANN Pfirman, S., Gascard, J.-C., Wollenburg, I., Mudie, P. & Abelmann, A. 1989: Particle-laden Eurasian Arctic sea ice: observations from July and August 1987. Polar Research 7, 5M6. During the summer 1987 expedition of the polar research vessel 'Polarstern' in the Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean, sea ice at about 84-86"N and 2@3OoE was found to have high concentrations of particulate material. The particle-laden ice occurred in patches which often darkened more than half the ice surface at our northernmost positions. Much of this ice appeared to be within :he Siberian Branch of the Transpolar Drift stream, which transports deformed, multi-year ice from the Siberian shelves westward across the Eurasian Basin. Lithogenic sediment, which is the major component of the particulate material, may have been incorporated during ice formation on the shallow Siberian seas. Diatoms collected from the particle- rich ice surfaces support this conclusion, as assemblages were dominated by a marine benthic species similar to that reported from sea ice off the coast of northeast Siberia. Based on drift trajectories of buoys deployed on the ice it appears that much of the particle-laden ice exited the Arctic Ocean through the Fram Strait and joined the East Greenland Current. Very different sea ice characteristics were found east of the Yermak Plateau and north of Svalbard and Frans Josef Land up to about 83-84"N. Here sea ice was thinner, less deformed, with lower amounts of lithogenic sediment and diatoms.

I had, however, the use of Ross’s library, and you may hardly credit it, but it is a fact, that not a single glass bottle was supplied for collecting purposes, empty pickle bottles were all we had, and rum as preservative for the ship’s stores.
