The State of the West Greenland Current up to 1944
Temperature records from the mouth of Godthaab fjord, west Greenland, during 1942–1944, show a cooling of the water over these three years, particularly marked in the first half of the year. The temperature history of the west Greenland current is traced by means of available records since 1883. It...
