All these branches therefore carry, not only water, but also heat and salt across the Ridge.

Climatic Importance of Large-Scale and Mesoscale Circulation in the Lofoten Basin Deduced from Lagrm waters into the Nordic Seas represents the final poleward transport of the global thermohaline circulation system before being transformed by cooling processes into intermediate and deep waters that flow back into the North Atlantic.

As it returns south across the Ridge in the form of the two dense overflows from Nordic Seas, its salinity has decreased from about 35.25 to 34.88 and its temperature has dropped from 8.5 °C to 2.0 °C or less. Not surprisingly, surrendering this amount of heat is of more than local c

Simulating the Terms in the Arctic Hydrological Budget,linity used to calculate freshwater content in the ocean can also introduce discrepancies in ocean transport and storage changes, although a common reference of 34.8 psu is adopted here. It is clear that significant differences exist between modelled and observational estimates as well as among diff
