Description:

Abstract:

Estimated start date, end date, and duration of open water at a location fronting Barter Island, Alaska derived from projected sea ice extents in 4 global climate models: MIROC5, BCC-CSM1.1, INM-CM4, and GFDL-ESM2M. Starting and ending dates are when sea ice retreated or is projected to retreat offshore by more than 80 kilometers fronting Barter Island. Projected coastal storm events were derived by downscaling atmospheric conditions of the RCP 4.5 climate scenario with the MIROC5 global climate model (GCM). Sea ice retreat distances were estimated from 4 separate GCMs: MIROC5, BCC-CSM1.1, INM-CM4, GFDL-CM3.

Purpose:

Data were generated to estimate future ocean storm conditions (magnitude and frequency), coastal flooding potentials, and barrier island migration rates, for the 21st century and assess changes with respect to past conditions.

Sea ice extents were used to inform the model of how much fetch were available at any given time.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Sea-ice extent for the hindcast period 1981-2010 were obtained from NOAA OAR ESRL PSD sea ice maps. Sea-ice extents from 2011 to the end of the 21st century were obtained from four GCMs (MIROC5, BCC-CSM1.1, INM-CM4, GFDL-CM3; Taylor and others 2012). Starting and ending dates are defined as when sea ice retreated or is projected to retreat offshore by more than 80 kilometers fronting Barter Island. The spatio-temporally varying maps were also used to inform the model of how much fetch was available at any given time to compute wind-wave growth.
