Modern Foraminiferal Assemblages of the Denmark Strait
… faunas from a sediment core taken from the Denmark Strait. Our analysis of three-thousand individuals from ten discrete samples aim to provide a better understanding of the modern patterns of foraminiferal distribution in the Denmark Strait, an important area in regulating climate. We find …

Hydrographic structure of overflow water passing through the Denmark Strait
Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW) constitutes the densest portion of North Atlantic Deep Water, which feeds the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). As such, it is critical to understand how DSOW is transferred from the upstream basins in the Nordic Seas, across …

A study of the large scale circulation and water mass formation in the Nordic seas and Arctic Ocean
… properties into those associated with the Denmark Strait Overflow Waters in the western North Atlantic, exits the Arctic Ocean in the western Fram Strait and flows with the East Greenland Current towards the Denmark Strait Another branch of the North Atlantic Current recirculates directly …

Moored observations of shelfbreak processes at the inflow to and outflow from the Arctic Ocean
… water formed in the Nordic Seas overflows the Denmark Strait and undergoes vortex stretching, forming intense cyclones that propagate along the East Greenland slope. Data from the mooring array at 65°N—roughly 300 km downstream of Denmark Strait—was used to determine the full water column …

The East Greenland Coastal Current : its structure variability, and large-scale impact
… along the entire Greenland shelf south of Denmark Strait, while the transect north of the strait showed only a weak shelf flow. This observation, combined with evidence from chemical tracer measurements that imply the EGCC contains a significant Pacific Water signal, suggests that the EGCC …

An Investigation into the dynamics of the ocean current system off southern Greenland
… East Greenland Current<br/>in the vicinity of Denmark Strait. Model simulations also suggest that the pathways<br/>followed by the low salinity output of the region’s fjord complexes are influenced<br/>by the strength and position of the main East Greenland Current. New data collected<br/>in …

Shelf currents, ice and wind : a numerical modeling study
… of the East Greenland Current, north of the Denmark Strait, in mind. While the models are heavily idealized, basic physical parameters match the observed ocean. The first part of the thesis uses a three dimensional, primitive equation model to examine the behavior of a shelf front under …

An experimental study on mixing induced by gravity currents on a sloping bottom in a rotating fluid
… experiments bracketed those calculated for the Denmark Strait overflow and the Mediterranean outflow and the values based on observations in the ocean and those from the laboratory were similar for a nondimensional parameter defined using variables used in the laboratory experiments. This shows …

Structure, variability, and dynamics of the West Greenland Boundary Current System
… mid-depth intensified cyclones generated at Denmark Strait are found offshore of the WGC and enhance the overflow water transport at synoptic timescales. Using mooring, hydrographic, and satellite data, we demonstrate that the WGC undergoes extensive meandering due to baroclinic instability …

Identification of variability in sub-arctic sea ice conditions during the Younger Dryas and Holocene
… from 3 short cores from Kangerdlugssuaq Trough (Denmark Strait/SE Greenland) with historical climate observations allowed the development of a model of sea ice conditions which was then tested for longer time-scales. It is suggested that the IP25 in sediments from this region is likely derived …
