Transport of Atlantic Water in the western Barents Sea
Measurements from an array of current meter moorings along a section between Norway and Bear Island indicate that the seasonal mean of inflowing Atlantic Water extends further to the north during the summer than during the winter. To further investigate this seasonal divergence and the transport rou...
