Summer hydrography and circulation in Storfjorden, Svalbard, following a record low winter sea‐ice extent in the Barents Sea

Storfjorden, Svalbard, hosts a polynya in winter and is an important source region of Brine-enriched Shelf Water (BSW) that, if dense enough, feeds the Arctic Ocean deep water reservoir. Changes in the BSW production may thus have far-reaching impacts. We analyze the water mass distribution and circ...
