The Descriptive and Dynamic Oceanography of the Mesostructure near Arctic Ice Margins.
Complex temperature anomalies observed near Arctic ice margins in the Chukchi Sea were found to be associated with the interaction of the warm coastal current with the ice cover and resident bottom water. These anomalies were characterized by large temperature gradients found in areas of very low de...
