Gaming Year in Review - 2024
James Morison · Follow 76 min read · -- Another year has come and gone, and it has certainly been eventful. At the beginning of 2024 I had made a New Year’s Resolution to start writing dedicated, in-depth pieces on Medium at whatever pace I could manage. I began this endeavour with the 2023 Gaming Year in Review article, [link] and I was committed enough to the bit to publish three more articles over the course of the year.
Modelling the impact of forest management and CO2-fertilisation on growth and demography in a Sitka spruce plantation - Scientific Reports
Abstract Afforestation and reforestation to meet ‘Net Zero’ emissions targets are considered a necessary policy by many countries. Their potential benefits are usually assessed through forest carbon and growth models. The implementation of vegetation demography gives scope to represent forest management and other size-dependent processes within land surface models (LSMs).
Arctic Ice-Ocean Coupling and Gyre Equilibration Observed With Remote Sensing
Model and observational evidence has shown that ocean current speeds in the Beaufort Gyre have increased and recently stabilized. Because these currents rival ice drift speeds, we examine the potential for the Beaufort Gyre's shift from a system in which the wind drives the ice and the ice drives a passive ocean to one in which the ocean often, in the absence of high winds, drives the ice.
A Meteoric Water Budget for the Arctic Ocean
A budget of meteoric water (MW = river runoff, net precipitation minus evaporation, and glacial meltwater) over four regions of the Arctic Ocean is constructed using a simple box model, regional precipitation-evaporation estimates from reanalysis data sets, and estimates of import and export fluxes derived from the literature with a focus on the 2003-2008 period.
Thermohaline staircases in the Amundsen Basin: Possible disruption by shear and mixing
As part of the 2013 and 2014 North Pole Environmental Observatories (NPEO) in the Amundsen Basin of the Arctic Ocean, two similar temperature microstructure experiments were performed with different results. In 2013, vertical fluxes were through a thermohaline staircase, and in 2014 the thermohaline staircase was largely absent. Here we investigate the reasons for this difference.
The Beaufort Gyre intensification and stabilization: A model-observation synthesis
A model-observation synthesis is conducted to investigate changes in the upper ocean circulation and stratification in the Canada Basin [CB] of the Arctic Ocean.
