Introduction
Summer and winter changes in the thermocline
Hypothesized that these changes may also be present on longer time scale
Hunkins and Whiteheads tank experiments read that paper
Tide gauge (PSMSL) data
Tide gauge locations
Do they vary together or not?

Introduction continued
TG time serie + regime shift of the mid 70's; show how it is present in TG and SLP time series
Local to the chukchi sea or arctic wide?
Show how TG correlates with slp, vorticity...
Is it an inverted barometer effect or a large-scale dynamic effect?
Subtract the inverse barometer effect

Conclusions
Ice export goes with NAO (recently)
Water export goes with NAO as well
Water export is not linked with FW content of Arctic
FW content of arctic goes with SLP or vorticity presumably due to increase ice formation during lower pressure in arctic
Expect a more complicated link between FW content and export when the FW export is more in line with real thing

Conclusions
Longer term FW content changes are larger than seasonal changes
They account for x km3/year compared with y km3 /year for ice export

Future work
• Experiment with the wind forcing to get the proper surface water export
• Dye river and other source of fresh water to break it into component
