Future Climate Applications of Mixing Parameterisations in Earth-System Models ((16) L05)

• Subject Area: Oceanography ; Atmospheric Science
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 274762653

In the second phase, this subproject was formed to evaluate IDEMIX in the paleo-oceanographic context and to assess, using this energy-constrained ocean mixing closure, the ocean circulation and oxygen cycles of two very different climate states from the past. In the third phase, we will continue to assess the role of IDEMIX in climate states that are very different from today's and now turn our attention to the future. In particular, we will consider the scenario of melting the Westantarctic and Greenland ice sheets (WAIS and GIS, respectively) and investigate the implications for the internal wave field, mixing patterns, and the overturning circulation.
