About the grant
The global and Nordic climate is influenced by the Atlantic's vertical circulation, the flow of warm water towards the polar region and the return flow of cold deep water towards the equator. This cycle passes the Greenland-Scotland Ridge (GSR), the boundary between the North Atlantic and the Nordic Seas. The project aims to develop satellite observation-based "fingerprints" to monitor water exchange over the GSR, by combining satellite altimetry with direct ocean observations to study mechanisms affecting variations in exchange over different time scales. Focus is on eddies from ocean fronts, atmospheric circulation and temperature/salinity signals north and south of the GSR to identify their signatures from space and provide early warning of changes in ocean circulation and climate.
