A Study of Long-Term Satellite-Tracked Iceberg Drifts in Baffin Bay
ABSTRACT. Long-term, satellite-tracked iceberg trajectories were analyzed relative to the larger spatial and temporal scales of iceberg drift in Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. Berg movements were concentrated in the core of the Baffin Current which flows along the continental. slope in a primarily sou...

Berg movements were concentrated in the core of the Baffin Current which flows along the continental. slope in a primarily southerly direction.
