Formation of intermediate water in the Greenland Sea during the 1990s ...
The transformation rates of upper water into intermediate water (500 to 1600 m) of the central Greenland Sea are deduced from annual changes in CFC tracer inventories between 1991 and 2000. Transformation was found to be intermittent in time, mainly taking place in the winters of 1994/1995 and 1999/...

The transformation rates of upper water into intermediate water (500 to 1600 m) of the central Greenland Sea are deduced from annual changes in CFC tracer inventories between 1991 and 2000.
