SUMMARY:Filling in the Map: The space-time geography of Arctic Ocean mixin
 g and why it matters  - Stephanie Waterman (University of British Columbia
 )

CONTACT:Dr Michael Haigh
DESCRIPTION:The rates and mechanisms of ocean mixing are important control
 s on how the oceans function\; yet\, our understanding of mixing in the oc
 ean is significantly limited by complex variability in mixing rates and pr
 ocesses\, and by a scarcity of direct observations. In the Arctic Ocean\, 
 the challenges are significant: mixing measurements are especially sparse 
 and latitude\, ice\, and stratification make the mixing environment unique
 . In this talk\, I’ll discuss various ways we are mapping Arctic Ocean m
 ixing rates and deriving insights into what sets mixing space-time geograp
 hy using pan-Arctic measurements from a variety of autonomous instrument p
 latforms and the archived data record. I’ll also show results from our e
 xperiments with realistic ocean models to argue that this map matters both
  to our understanding of Arctic Ocean functioning and our ability to make 
 robust predictions of future climate change.
