TLDR
The Swedish icebreaker Oden conducted an extensive oceanographic survey of the East Greenland Current from north of Fram Strait to south of Denmark Strait as a part of the Arctic Ocean 2002 programme to study the Nordic Seas, while RV Knorr of Woods Hole worked in the ice-free parts.About:

Variability in Atlantic water temperature and transport at the entrance to the Arctic Ocean, 1997-2010
TL;DR: In this paper, the variability in Atlantic water temperature and volume transport in the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), based on measurements by an array of moorings in Fram Strait (78°50′N) over the period 1997-2010, is addressed.

Observations in the Ocean
Bert Rudels,Bert Rudels,Leif G. Anderson,Patrick B. Eriksson,Eberhard Fahrbach,Martin Jakobsson,E. Peter Jones,Humfrey Melling,Simon Prinsenberg,Ursula Schauer,Tom Yao +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the exploratory work done in the Arctic Ocean from the mid nineteenth century to 1980, when its main features became known and a systematic study of the Arctic ocean evolved is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current estimates of freshwater flux through Arctic and subarctic seas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that around 51 mSv of freshwater from the Nordic Sea flows south to the deep Atlantic in the dense water overflows leaving an assumed balance of 151mSv to leave the Nordic Seas in the upper water export through Denmark Strait.

Towards quantitative sea ice reconstructions in the northern North Atlantic: A combined biomarker and numerical modelling approach
Juliane Müller,Axel Wagner,Axel Wagner,Kirsten Fahl,Ruediger Stein,Matthias Prange,Gerrit Lohmann,Gerrit Lohmann +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, organic geochemical analyses of marine surface sediments from the continental margins of East Greenland and West Spitsbergen provide for a biomarker-based estimate of recent sea ice conditions in the northern North Atlantic.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of observed ocean temperatures and salinities between 1950 and 2005 shows that the Atlantic water circulating in the Nordic seas is the main source for change in the overflow waters.

Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how the Ocean-Atmosphere system is driven by transfer of properties between the atmosphere and the ocean. But they do not consider the effects of side boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
North Atlantic–Nordic Seas exchanges
Bogi Hansen,Svein Østerhus +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the state of knowledge on the exchanges especially across the eastern part of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge, based on results from the ICES NANSEN (North Atlantic-Norwegian Sea Exchanges) project, from the Nordic WOCE project and from other sources.

The production of North Atlantic Deep Water: Sources, rates, and pathways
Robert R. Dickson,Juan Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the initial development phase of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) production from the points where the dense inflows from Nordic seas cross the Greenland-Scotland Ridge to the point off south Greenland where the buildup of new production appears almost complete.

Thermohaline circulation in the Arctic Mediterranean Seas
TL;DR: The renewal of the deep North Atlantic by the various overflows of the Greenland-Scotland ridges is only one manifestation of the convective and mixing processes which occur in the various basins and shelf areas to the north: the Arctic Ocean and the Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian seas, collectively called the Arctic Mediterranean.

Rapid freshening of the deep North Atlantic Ocean over the past four decades
TL;DR: It is shown, through the analysis of long hydrographic records, that the system of overflow and entrainment that ventilates the deep Atlantic has steadily changed over the past four decades, and this changes have already led to sustained and widespread freshening of the deep ocean.
