Description
Summary:The European Subpolar Ocean Programme (ESOP) has the overall objective of understanding the roles played by sea ice in the energetics of the Greenland Sea system and in the specific ice-ocean interactions involved in the process of deep convection in the winter Greenland Sea with its attendant sequestration of carbon dioxide. The scope and nature of the project are described, together with results obtained to date.
