Bear Island Channel: T,S,r Warm/saline or cold/fresh Additionally a jump in 1989
What determines the variations of the outflow water?the Atlantic Inflow Water or Internal processes
Signature of the Barents Sea deep outflow in the Norw. Sea(Bear Island West section, 15degE.)
Bear Island West section, 1986 and 2003 1986 2003
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)
