The East Greenland Current North of Denmark Strait: Part I

Deals primarily with data from cruises of the Edisto, summers 1964-65, and 1965 drift of Arlis II; supported by the Office of Naval Research through the Arctic Institute of North America. Pt 1 summarizes previously published papers on the East Greenland Current, notes some bathymetric features of th...

Au cours de l'hiver de 1965, des mesures effectuées dans le courant du Groenland oriental ont montré que sur le talus continental, la circulation comporte d'importantes composantes dirigées vers le rivage, ce qui représente probablement un flux vers l'ouest selon le mouvement d'Ekman. La vitesse ne diminue pas beaucoup avec la profondeur, ce qui indique que le mode barotropique domine la circulation.

Cet ordre de grandeur dépasse les anciennes estimations et, malgré les fluctuations saisonnières possibles, il semble que le courant du Groenland oriental correspond surtout à une circulation interne des mers du Groenland et de Norvège, plutôt qu'à un émissaire du bassin polaire central.
