ATLANTIC WATER IN THE NORDIC SEAS - WALDEMAR WA...

The book presents a wide description of hydrographic conditions in the studied area of the
Norwegian and Greenland Seas. Variability of the Atlantic Water properties have been presented
on the basis of time series obtained from oceanographic measurements performed each summer from
2000 to 2007 by the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences. The warming observed in
that period has been described in detail as well as cooling of the Atlantic Water flowing
towards the Fram Strait in 2007. Furthermore  concepts regarding multi-branch structure of the
West Spitsbergen Current have been presented  types of flows in individual branches as well as
variability of the flows. Description of the structure  transports and variability of the sea
currents is based mostly on hydrographic measurements and baroclinic calculations. The results
confirm a leading role of the ocean in climate shaping and acknowledges the importance of the
Thermohaline Circulation for the climate.
