Impact of Ocean Heat Transport on Arctic Sea Ice Variability in the GFDL CM2‐O Model Suite
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The impact of horizontal resolution on meridional Ocean Heat Transport (OHT) and sea ice in the Arctic is investigated using the GFDL CM2‐O climate model suite (1°, 1/4°, and 1/10°) in both preindustrial control and climate change simulations. Results show an increase in OHT associated to a decrease in sea ice extent (SIE) in the Arctic on interannual and decadal timescales. This link, however, is not monotonic with spatial resolution. While OHT increases and SIE decreases from the Low to the Medium resolution, the reverse is true from the Medium to the High resolution. Differences in OHT and SIE between the three model configurations mostly arise from the preindustrial state. As the spatial resolution increases, the Irminger Current is favored at the expense of the North Atlantic Drift. This rerouting of water to the Western side of Greenland results in less heat delivered to the Arctic in the High‐resolution configuration than in its Medium counterpart. As a result, the Medium‐resolution configuration is in best agreement with observed SIE and Atlantic OHT. Concurrent with the change in the partitioning in volume is a change in deep convection centers from the Greenland‐Irminger‐Norwegian Seas in the Low resolution to the Labrador Sea in the Medium and High resolutions. Results suggest a coupling between OHT into the Arctic and deep convection in the North Atlantic.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
