Multifractal characteristics of the upper layer thermal structure in the southwestern Greenland Sea, Iceland Sea, and Norwegian Sea (GIN Sea) are analyzed using high-resolution, digital thermistor chain data. The energy spectrum at 20 m depth (cold sublayer) shows the existence of a spike at the sca...
