Barents Sea thermal frontal zones in 1960–2017: variability, weakening, shifting
Abstract This paper discusses our research on the interannual variability in the Barents Sea thermal frontal zones. The extent of the frontal zones and their mean temperature gradients at 50 m depth in August–September 1960–2017 were estimated for an area between 73–78°N and 15–43°E, where the front...
