Arctic Shelf Water Processes

In a future climate scenario with no summer sea ice and perennial ice cover, we believe that the Arctic shelves will become the most important ventilation areas with AW as source water. Our data from both warm and cold Arctic shelves around Svalbard and i n the Barents Sea will hence be a perfect...
