BOTTOM TOPOGRAPHY OF THE GREENLAND SEA IN THE REGION OF NANSEN'S SILL
In 1955-1956 a complex of oceanographic researches were carried out in the northern part of the Greenland Sea and in the Central Arctic areas adjacent thereto. These expeditions endeavored to study in detail the bottom topography in the Nansen Sill area, and to determine the exchange of water and he...
