The Structure and Long-Term Variability of the Bottom Layer in the Irminger Sea

This paper shows the important role that circulation can play in the long-term variability of thermohaline properties of the bottom layer in the Irminger Sea, and the increase in salinity in the 21st century in spite of intense ice melting in the Arctic and freshening of the upper and intermediate l...

Description
Summary:This paper shows the important role that circulation can play in the long-term variability of thermohaline properties of the bottom layer in the Irminger Sea, and the increase in salinity in the 21st century in spite of intense ice melting in the Arctic and freshening of the upper and intermediate layers that started over the last 5–7 years in the North Atlantic.
