Variability in deep water mass properties and mixing in the Norwegian Sea
Decadal variations of the Norwegian Sea Deep Water are presented for the 1990s and 2000s. While salinity values have only slightly increased for the Norwegian Basin, there is a noticeable increase in potential temperature for the water below 2000 m. This is likely caused by an increase in temperatur...
