International audience The northward inflow of Atlantic Water through Denmark Strait ? the North Icelandic Irminger Current (NIIC) ? is simulated with a numerical model of the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. The model uses the technique of adaptive grid refinement which allows a high spatial resolu...
