Interannual Variability of the Sea-Ice-Induced Salt Flux in the Greenland Sea
The Greenland Sea is one of the few places in the World Ocean where deep convection takes place. The convection process is initiated by a density increase originating from rapid cooling and/or a salt flux to the upper layer of the ocean due to brine rejection from ice formation (Rudels, 1990; Visbec...
