THE SEASONAL VARIATION OF PERMANENT CURRENTS WITHIN BAFFIN BAY.
The seasonal variation of permanent currents within Baffin Bay is investigated. A model based on physical reasoning is developed, whereby the speed of surface currents may be calculated during winter months, when observations are not available due to ice coverage. Verification is made where possible...
