Abstract / Summary:

We use a numerical model to examine the fate of riverine fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the Arctic basin. The model is based on the Arctic sector of an eddy-permitting ocean model (MITgcm), where spherical domain is projected onto a cube to avoid polar a singularity in the Arctic region. The physical model is forced by time-varying NCEP re-analysis products and an explicit representation of fresh water run-off in the Arctic region. Passive tracers and idealized
