Seasonal variations in the Atlantic inflow to the Nordic seas
A repeat section between 64°40' N on the prime meridian and 62° 30' N off the Norwegian coast was operated monthly during 1990 and 1991. The sections were worked by the Weather Ship "Polarfront" on return voyages from Ocean Weather Station "M". Estimates of volume and h...
