An Ocean Observing System for the Bering Strait, the Pacific Gateway to the Arctic
Given the significant role of Pacific waters in the Arctic, quantifying the Bering Strait throughflow and its properties is important to understanding the present functioning of the Arctic system, as well as the causes and prediction of present and future Arctic change. This makes a Bering Strait mo...
