/s. Further, in accordance with Proshutinsky (1993a), in the Arctic Ocean,
including the Barents and White Seas, the tidal energy dissipation rate is ~ 8 × 10
10
W. The
present results testify that our estimate of tidal energy dissipation in the Arctic Ocean,
together with the adjacent seas of the Siberian continental shelf, but without Norwegian,
Greenland, Barents and White Seas, is near the Kowalik estimate. Clearly, this estimate
depends on sizes of the domain under study, topography, a grid resolution etc., so that the
question as to what the tidal energy dissipation rate in the Arctic Ocean is, may hardly be
regarded as closed.
