atlantification

Alternative form of Atlantification.

Global warming results in an “atlantification” of large regions of the contemporary MIZ band in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic and probably in increased export of ArW, fresh-water, ice and ice-bound detritus through the Fram Strait. In the Barents Sea, the term atlantification implies that the current MIZ will move northwards and that stratification will decrease strongly in the MIZ region.

This encroaching “atlantification” of the Eurasian Basin represents an essential step toward a new Arctic climate state, with a substantially greater role for Atlantic inflows.

The process of joining or being influenced by the Atlantic bloc countries.

Of course it is clear that with things as they are to-day, every precaution would have to be taken in bringing about the 'Atlantification' of Germany.

The Soviet Union thus should make a vital concession by agreeing to withdraw from the Eastern Zone. 2) Simultaneous de-Atlantification of the Western Germany. The Atlantic Bloc should also make a vital concession by withdrawing from the Western Zone and abandoning all plans for the integration of Germany into the E.D.C.

The intrusion of water from the Atlantic ocean into another ocean or sea, and the resultant environmental and biological changes.

The concurrent "Atlantification" of the seasonal ice-cover zone may result in an expansion of Atlantic species northwards and significant changes in biomass, seasonal variation and spatial distribution of phytoplankton.

This increased “Atlantification” of the Arctic, which may well be a temporary thing given what we now know, explains why the Barents Sea region has seen so little winter sea ice in recent years, and, in turn, why there is a big positive trend in the winter surface air temperatures in this area (fig. 10).
