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.

We see a similar atlantification of the sea to the north and east of Svalbard; less sea ice in the Arctic Ocean leads to less melt-water and thus the warm Atlantic water remains atop the water column for most of the year, staying entirely on the surface.of the sea to the north and east of Svalbard; less sea ice in the Arctic Ocean leads to less melt-water and thus the warm Atlantic water remains atop the water column for most of the year, staying entirely on the surface.

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 globalization of culture implies a commercialization, a massification and an "Americanization," or rather "Atlantification," a complex, large-scale integration process on many levels.

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).
