OCEANOGRAPHIC CRUISE SUMMARY, DENMARK STRAIT, APRIL-MAY 1966
The report describes an oceanographic survey conducted in the Denmark Strait aboard USS EDISTO (AGB 2) during the period 18 April to 8 May 1965. A strong Arctic outflow was observed near the Greenland coast with speeds up to 30 cm/sec. Between this outflow and the warmer Irminger Current, a pronounc...
