2005: Measured volume, heat, and salt fluxes from the Atlantic to the Arctic Mediterranean
[1] The flow of warm and saline Atlantic water towards the Arctic crosses the Greenland-Scotland Ridge in three current branches. Since the mid 1990’s, extensive monitoring with quasi-permanent moorings and regular CTD cruises has been in operation on three sections crossing the branches. Averaged o...
