A Note on Climatic Change in the Sea
Strong increase in temperature and water transport in the Gulf Stream-North Atlantic Drift system during the recent climatic amelioration (1915 to about 1945) has been most effective in the northeast part of the system (Iceland, Faeroes, Barents Sea, Svalbard) and West Greenland. Increase in flow of...
