Transport Pathways from the Eurasian Basin to the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean and Submarine-Based Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) Measurements of The Upper Arctic Ocean

Abstract

Long-term goals have been to better document and understand circulation patterns and mixing processes in the Arctic Ocean. Emphases have been on the roles of small-scale and mesoscale processes in effecting water, heat and material transports. Means by which water, heat and dissolved materials transit laterally between the shelf-slope regions and the interior basins, and vertically through the halocline and upper mixed layer, have been of special interest.
