MF de Jong, H Søiland, AS Bower, HH Furey - Deep Sea Research Part I …, 2018 - Elsevier
The pathways of dense waters located above the sill depth of Denmark Strait were
investigated in the Iceland Sea using 52 acoustically tracked RAFOS floats. These floats
were deployed in summer 2013 and 2014, with a target depth of 500 m, resulting in a total of
40.9 float-years of track data covering the Iceland Sea basin. In the interior Iceland Sea
basin, the float tracks showed a double gyre circulation, out of which floats eventually
escaped towards the Norwegian Sea in the East Icelandic Current, with some appearing to …
