Fig. 23. Simplified scheme of the main sea currents that affect bottom water temperature in the vicinity of Iceland. Surface currents affecting the continental shelf and slopes are symbolized as dotted lines: the cold East Icelandic Current (EIC) and the cold East Greenland Current (EGC), jointly form the Polar Front north off Iceland; the warmer Irminger Current (IC), is a branch of the North Atlantic Current (NAC). Unbroken blue lines, affecting deeper bottom waters (> 500 m): the Cold Overflow Bottom Water currents (COBW), the North Icelandic Jet (NIJ) and the Icelandic-Faroe Slope Jet (IFSJ) (compiled after Valdimarsson et al. 2012; Logemann et al. 2013; Jochumsen et al. 2017; Semper et al. 2019; Símonarson et al. 2021).
