Abstract
The evolution of the wind-mixed layer and surface temperature in a period of ice retreat is studied with a one-dimensional turbulent erosion model. This model is established to provide values for a number of physical parameters to be used in ecophysiological modelling of plankton blooms in an area with a retreating ice cover. The wind-mixed layer (WML) model is driven by parameters obtained by regular on-board meteorological observations, visual ice cover estimates and global radiation measurements. The results of numerous conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts performed during the EPOS leg-2 cruise provided the data for the initial conditions and validation.
