| Research Abstract |
Oceanic warming due to inflow of Pacific Water is a key factor of recent sea ice reduction in the western Arctic Ocean. In the Arctic Ocean, it is hard to maintain in-situ measurements continuously. Hence, the development of alternative method to monitor oceanic warming is an urgent issue. In this study, we developed regression models for northward barotropic transport, 1^<st> baroclinic mode and vertical profile of temperature at Barrow Canyon, using NCEP wind data and satellite sea surface temperature. Using those models, realistic oceanic heat flux through the Barrow Canyon was estimated.
