Aspects of the hydrodynamics of the Greenland Sea were investigated through a hierarchy of nested numerical models. The simulations were particularly conceived to study, under realistic conditions, the hydrodynamics induced by the presence of a convectively generated oceanic mesoscale chimney as wel...
