This study examines the variations in Barents Sea outflow to the Norwegian Sea, focusing on the deep water processes traced from 1979. Explore the influences of Atlantic Inflow Water and internal processes on water variations. Discover insights on the q-S relation of Bear Island Channel and signatures of the Barents Sea deep outflow. The research highlights significant changes in outflow properties post-1990 and their correlation with Atlantic Water inflow characteristics.

Conclusion • Large change in the outflow properties after about 1990, and also signature in Norw. Sea dissapear in q-S space. • Variations of the deep outflow follows the characteristics of the AW inflow, and rappid effect , T< 1 year Modelling (hd)
