The Bering Strait throughflow is important for the Chukchi Sea and the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. A realistic assessment of throughflow properties is also necessary for validation and boundary conditions of high resolution ocean models. From 14 years of moored measurements, we construct a monthly c...
