POLEWARD: A drifter experiment to quantify the poleward transport, transformation and spreading of oceanic properties

We propose to observe, describe and quantify the oceanic transport poleward and the transformation, spreading and mixing rates of water parcels in the Nordic and Barents Seas by monitoring the motion of the water parcels. In the process we will be quantif ying the mechanisms transforming the warm...
