Upwelling: Oceanic Structure at the Edge of the Arctic Ice Pack in Winter

Observations taken on an expedition into the Arctic Ocean north of Spitsbergen indicated the existence of a region of wind-driven upwelling along the edge of the ice pack. Models underestimate the 12-kilometer width of the upwelling region.
