  • Atlantic Water Circulation in the Canada Basin

    Open AccessJohn L Newton, L K CoachmanARTICLEARCTIC1974

    Circulation of the Atlantic water layer in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean is re-examined using the numerous data acquired in the last decade. Methods of analysis were (1) the core layer method as used ten years previously, (2) a 500/1000-decibar dynamic topography, and (3) the available direct current measurements. The results confirm the general anti-cyclonic circulation deduced previously which has a transport of about 0.6 sverdrups. A ne…

  • Physical Oceanography in the Arctic Ocean

    Open AccessL K CoachmanARTICLEARCTIC1969

    The support of drifting stations and other scientific work on the pack ice by the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory is basic for the US studies of the central Arctic Ocean. A synoptic picture of temperature/salinity variables is needed, as is information on spatial variations of the currents. During the summer 1967, the satellite navigation system gave fixes of Fletcher's Ice Island T-3, from which water motion at depths of 150, 500 and 1300 m was…

  • The East Greenland Current North of Denmark Strait

    Open AccessKnut Aagaard, L K CoachmanARTICLEARCTIC1968

    Deals primarily with data from cruises of the Edisto, summers 1964-65, and 1965 drift of Arlis II; supported by the Office of Naval Research through the Arctic Institute of North America. Pt 2 gives more detailed data on the temperature/salinity distributions and movements of the polar water, which represents only a minor part of the total flow, but constitutes the upper layer of the East Greenland Current and mainly controls the ice distribution…

  • The East Greenland Current North of Denmark Strait

    Open AccessKnut Aagaard, L K CoachmanARTICLEARCTIC1968

    Deals primarily with data from cruises of the Edisto, summers 1964-65, and 1965 drift of Arlis II; supported by the Office of Naval Research through the Arctic Institute of North America. Pt 1 summarizes previously published papers on the East Greenland Current, notes some bathymetric features of the western Greenland Sea and its water masses, and discusses general features of the velocity field, mean velocities and volume transports of the curre…

  • Currents in Long Strait, Arctic Ocean

    Open AccessL K Coachman, D A RankinARTICLEARCTIC1968

    Reports and discusses current measurements made Aug 1966 from USS Burton Island (AGB-1) in the strait which separates Vrangelya Island from the Siberian mainland. A significant tidal oscillation of the currents is caused by the semidiurnal tide wave of the Arctic Ocean, propagating eastward through the strait. The oscillation varies in amplitude with the semimonthly tidal inequality. The long-term mean flow through the channel appears to be contr…

  • A Note on Ice Island WH-5

    Open AccessDavid C Nutt, L K CoachmanARTICLEARCTIC1963

    As reported by Hattersley-Smith, Ice Island WH-5, the easternmost and largest (approximately 20 by 9 km.) of the islands resulting from the massive calving of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf during the winter 1961-2, drifted eastward, whereas the other four islands drifted westward. WH-5, tracked through radar photography by the U.S. Navy "Birdseye" ice reconnaissance flights, continued its eastward movement during the winter 1962-3. It entered the Linco…

  • The Movement of Atlantic Water in the Arctic Ocean

    Open AccessL K Coachman, Clifford A BarnesARTICLEARCTIC1963

    Re-evaluates sixty years' oceanographic data from the Arctic Ocean, examining nearly 300 deep-water stations, and using the "core-layer" method of Wust to interpret the movement of the Atlantic layer. Stations are grouped in 16 areas and the average curve for each group plotted on a temperature-salinity diagram. Temperature and salinity changes which take place in the Atlantic water while and entity in the Arctic Basin are graphed. The temperatur…

  • Surface Water in the Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean

    Open AccessL K Coachman, Clifford A BarnesARTICLEARCTIC1962

    Reports results of re-appraisal and interpretation of data from 74 oceanographic stations (of >400 occupied), listed according to vessel and source. Surface water occupies the uppermost 200 m It is almost continuously supplied by continental runoff from Siberia which mixes with and collects saline water, to a few hundred times its original volume, as it crosses the arctic shelf seas. The surface water then flows directly to the exit from the basi…

  • The Contribution of Bering Sea Water to the Arctic Ocean

    Open AccessL K Coachman, Clifford A BarnesARTICLEARCTIC1961

    Summarizes the characteristics, especially temperature-salinity of these waters as they flow north through Bering Strait, and as they modify the surface water, deeper water, and ice cover of the western Arctic Ocean. Analysis of about 200 deep-water stations reveals regularity in the vertical distribution of temperature and salinity. The shallow 75-100 m depth, temperature maximum observed in the western as distinct from the eastern Arctic Basin …
