Recent studies have documented changes in the thermohaline layer of the Canadian Basin. This study analyzes a year long set of temperature and salinity profiles from the SHEBA ice station, in comparison with the 40- year climatology from the EWG digital atlas, the most complete Arctic data compilati...
