A three-way balance in the Beaufort Gyre: the ice-ocean governor, wind stress, and eddy diffusivity

The Beaufort Gyre (BG) is a large anticyclonic circulation in the Arctic Ocean. Its strength is directly related to the halocline depth, and therefore also to the storage of freshwater. It has recently been proposed that the equilibrium state of the BG is set by the Ice-Ocean Governor, a negative fe...
