No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A one layer numerical model is developed that demonstrates how the Atlantic Water (AW) from the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) is topographically steered onto the West Spitsbergen Shelf (WSS) with a special emphasize on the Isfjorden Trough.
