Closing the Mass Budget between Bering Strait and the Arctic Basin: The Chukchi Slope Current
- Data from a collection of shipboard transects have revealed the presence of a heretofore unknown westward flowing current along the Chukchi Sea continental slope, which we call the Chukchi Slope Current. It transports 0.50±0.08 Sv of Pacific-origin water westward from Barrow Canyon.- The Slope Cur...
