The course aims to describe circulation and dynamics of the polar oceans, including the Nordics Seas, the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean. The topics are discussed with respect to climatic variations and compared for the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

Course Description

The course covers important processes related to circulation of Polar Seas, thermodynamics of cold seawater, theories for mixing and dense water formation, boundary layers processes, sea ice formation, melting of ice-shelves, and heat budgets for the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. These processes are related to general climate variability, and to ongoing global warming.
