Using satellite altimetric sea surface height (ADT) data, we search for propagation of hydrographic anomalies along the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current (NwASC) from the Svinøy section in the south to the Fram Strait in the north. Our analyses indicate that ADT anomalies, related to low-frequency te...
