COMPARISON THE ARCTIC OCEAN THE THERMOHALINE CHARACTERISTICS DISTRIBUTION FROM THE OBSERVED DATA AND MITGCM MODEL SIMULATED DATA
Here we show weekly average distribution of temperature and salinity in the Arctic Ocean calculated by regional configuration of the MITgcm model between 2000 and 2012. Based on comparison simulated and observed data the model shows close approximation of temperature and salinity vertical distribution in the Arctic Basin. Calculated depths of the Atlantic water are close to observed data. Modeling results show local temperature maximum in the layer of Pacific origin water characterised by values close to measured.
