Forschergruppe (FOR) 1740: Ein neuer Ansatz für verbesserte Abschätzungen des atlantischen Frischwasserhaushalts und von Frischwassertransporten als Teil des globalen Wasserkreislaufs, Variation of the fresh water in the western Nordic Seas

The goal of this project is to capture and analyse fluctuations of the fresh water in the western Nordic Seas and to understand the related processes. The East Greenland Current in the Nordic Seas constitutes an important conduit for fresh water exiting the Arctic Ocean towards the North Atlantic. The Arctic Ocean receives huge amounts of fresh water by continental runoff and by import from the Pacific Ocean. Within the Arctic Ocean fresh water is concentrated at the surface through sea ice formation. The East Greenland Current carries this fresh water in variable fractions as sea ice and in liquid form; part of it enters the central Nordic Seas, via branching of the current and through eddies. It controls the intensity of deep water formation and dilutes the water masses which result from convection. The last decades showed significant changes of the fresh water yield and distribution in the Nordic Seas and such anomalies were found to circulate through the North Atlantic. In this project the fresh water inventory, its spatial distribution and its pathways between the East Greenland Current and the interior Greenland and Icelandic seas shall be captured by autonomous glider missions. The new measurements and existing data will, in combination with the modeling work of the research group, serve as basis for understanding the causes of the fresh water variability and their consequences for the North Atlantic circulation and deep water formation.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1266: Integrated Analysis of Interglacial Climate Dynamics (INTERDYNAMIC), Schwerpunktprogramm SPP 1266: Integrierte Analyse zwischeneiszeitlicher Klimadynamik (Interdynamik)

Das Schwerpunktprogramm setzt sich zum Ziel, das Verständnis der Klimadynamik anhand quantitativer Untersuchungen des Paläoklimas im Hinblick auf zukünftige Klimaprognosen zu verbessern. INTERDYNAMIK verfolgt einen integrativen Ansatz der Paläoklimaforschung, in dem alle verfügbaren Paläoklimaarchive (terrestrische und marine sowie Eisbohrkerne) miteinander verknüpft werden sollen, um zu einer möglichst umfassenden, quantitativen Analyse globaler Umweltvariationen zu gelangen. Darüber hinaus wird eine enge Verzahnung von Paläoklimarekonstruktionen mit Ergebnissen aus der Erdsystemmodellierung weitreichende Einblicke in die Dynamik von Klimavariationen liefern, die von großer Relevanz für eine Abschätzung zukünftiger Klimaveränderungen sind. Die Untersuchungen sollen auf spätpleistozäne Warmzeiten (inklusive deren Beginn und Ende) im vorindustriellen Zeitraum bis circa eine Million Jahre vor heute beschränkt sein. Im Hinblick auf die globalen Aspekte des Klimawandels wird der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen in INTERDYNAMIK auf globalen und überregionalen (z. B. kontinent- und beckenweiten) Skalen liegen. Die folgenden Schlüsselfragen werden im Zentrum der Untersuchungen stehen: (1) Welche Amplitude haben natürliche Klimavariationen auf Zeitskalen von einigen Jahren bis Jahrtausenden? (2) Wie verändern sich Klimavariabilitätsmuster in Zeit und Raum? (3) Treten abrupte Änderungen der großskaligen Ozeanzirkulation im Atlantik in Interglazialen auf? (4) Welche biogeochemischen Rückkopplungsmechanismen bestimmen die natürlichen Grenzen der atmosphärischen Treibhausgas- und Aerosolkonzentration? (5) Welche Wechselwirkungen existieren zwischen Klima und vorindustriellen Kulturen?. Grundlage für die Bearbeitung dieser Fragestellungen bildet die Kombination zeitlich hochauflösender Klimainformationen aus Eisbohrkernen, marinen und terrestrischen Archiven mit einer modernen Erdsystemmodellierung. INTERDYNAMIK sieht ausschließlich sogenannte Dual+-Verbundprojekte vor, in denen mindestens zwei der Forschungsfelder Eisbohrkerne, marine Archive, terrestrische Archive und Erdsystemmodellierung vertreten sein müssen. Über die Dual+-Projekte wird eine enge disziplinen- und ortsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit von universitären und außeruniversitären Arbeitsgruppen angestrebt.

Forschergruppe (FOR) 1740: Ein neuer Ansatz für verbesserte Abschätzungen des atlantischen Frischwasserhaushalts und von Frischwassertransporten als Teil des globalen Wasserkreislaufs, Amplitude, mechanism, and dynamical significance of salinity variability in the Atlantic and Nordic Seas, analyzed from satellite data and ocean syntheses

The goal of this project is to quantify freshwater fluxes in the ocean, and improve our understanding of their temporal and spatial changes in terms of the interaction between ocean transport processes, surface net freshwater fluxes and river run-off, as well as mixing processes in the ocean. In particular, we aim at combining all available ocean salinity/freshwater data (including novel satellite-based salinity retrievals and ARGO data), surface freshwater fluxes (including HOAPS and NCEP net surface freshwater fluxes) and river discharge with a numerical model to improve our understanding of net surface sources of freshwater, near-surface freshwater budgets, and full-depth ocean freshwater transports. Respective sub-goals entail: -Improving the quality of SMOS and Aquarius surface salinity data and estimating respective error information required for their subsequent analysis and assimilation. - Expansion of the GECCO data assimilation system to incorporate surface salinity fields. - Evaluation of the sensitivity of subsurface salinity to freshwater fluxes (incl. run-off), surface salinity fields and subsurface salinity changes. - Estimates of surface and subsurface salinity fields, ocean transports of freshwater (including surface freshwater fluxes) from monthly mean SMOS and Aquarius fields, ARGO salinities and underway salinity measurements. - Quantifying the role of surface forcing (E-P-R) versus lateral transports and mixing of freshwater in modulating the freshwater content as function of depths and geographical position. Providing a best possible description of salinity changes and underlying processes in the Atlantic Ocean.

Forschergruppe (FOR) 1740: Ein neuer Ansatz für verbesserte Abschätzungen des atlantischen Frischwasserhaushalts und von Frischwassertransporten als Teil des globalen Wasserkreislaufs, A new Approach toward Improved Estimates of Atlantic Ocean freshwater Budgets and Tranports as Part of the Global Hydrological Cycle

The successful implementation of the proposed DFG research group 1740 'Atlantic Freshwater Cycle' requires a well-structured scientific and organizational coordination. The coordination is a scientific and administrative activity that is key for reaching the goals of the research group. The coordinate assistance is essential, working closely together with the coordinator, to ensure support for all subprojects. In detail, the coordination is responsible for the successful implementation and performance of the project and to provide assistance in the networking within the research group, to exchange information, and to stimulate the collaboration between individual TPs. An important task of the coordination will also be to inform the outside world about the work within FOR1740, in enhancing the interaction between the early carrier scientists and organizing regular FOR1740 meetings. The coordination will maintain the project website and be responsible for outreach. The coordination will also have the responsibility of organizing international conferences on freshwater and salinity research.

Dissolved organic matter molecular composition data for multiple oceanographic cruises with RV SONNE (SO254, SO245, SO248) and RV POLARSTERN (PS79), Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study and Hawaii Ocean Time-series

This data includes the dissolved organic matter (DOM) molecular composition data obtained via Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry for multiple oceanographic cruises collected in the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans (HOTS, BATS, SO254, SO245, SO248, ANT 28-II, ANT 28-IV, and 28-V) between 2009 and 2017. This analysis was conducted to assess the molecular composition of DOM in the context of ocean mixing. DOM was extracted and desalted using the solid phase extraction method as described in Dittmar et al. 2008. The extracts were stored frozen in methanol until analysis in 2019, when aliquots of the extracts were mixed with 50% ultrapure water (50:50 v/v) and diluted to a final carbon concentration of 2.5 ppm. DOM composition was determined on a SolariX XR FT-ICR-MS (Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany) equipped with a 15 Tesla superconducting magnet and an electrospray ionization source (ESI; Bruker Apollo II ion source) in negative ion mode, as described in (Bercovici, Dittmar, and Niggemann 2022). Subsequent data processing and molecular formula assignment was conducted in ICBM-OCEAN, as described in (Merder et al. 2020).

Modeled environmental data-layers and changes predicted under RCP2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 for the deep Atlantic Ocean

The data layers provided show current values for seawater temperature, pH, calcite and aragonite saturation (%), oxygen concentration, and particulate organic carbon (POC) flux to the seafloor at different depths (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000m) at the present day (1951-2000) and changes in these variables expected between 2041-2060 and 2081-2100 under different RCP scenarios. The data layers were generated following the methods described in Levin et al. (2020). In short, in 2019, we obtained the present day and future ocean projections for the different years which were compiled from all available data generated by Earth Systems Models as part of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Three Earth System Models, including GFDL‐ESM‐2G, IPSL‐CM5A‐MR, and MPI‐ESM‐MR were collected and multi-model averages of temperature, pH, O2 , export production at 100-m depth (epc100), carbonate ion concentration (co3), and carbonate ion concentration for seawater in equilibrium with aragonite (co3satarg) and calcite (co3satcalc) were calculated. The epc100 was converted to export POC flux at the seafloor using the Martin curve (Martin et al., 1987) following the equation: POC flux = export production*(depth/export depth)0.858. The export depth was set to 100 m, and the water depth using the ETOPO1 Global Relief Model (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Seafloor aragonite and calcite saturation were computed by dividing co3 by co3satarg and co3satcalc. All variableswere reported as the inter-annual mean projections between 1951-2000, 2041-2060, and 2081-2100. The data for calcite and aragonite saturation can be found in Morato et al. (2020).
