Models of cross shelf transport introduced by the Lofoten Maelstrom
The drift of particles released in the tidal current (Moskstraumen) near Lofotodden, located at 671500N; 121500E; has been studied. The periodical tidal current combined with a background current is found to introduce a transport between Vestfjorden inside Lofotodden and the shelf outside. This part...
