An analysis of Atlantic water in the Arctic Ocean using the Arctic subpolar gyre state estimate and observations
2021, Progress in OceanographyCitation Excerpt :The boundary current that distributes AW throughout the Arctic Ocean has been inferred to remain adjacent to the continental shelf as it traverses cyclonically (counter-clockwise) around the Arctic Ocean with several bifurcations (Aksenov et al., 2011; Mauritzen et al., 2013; Rudels et al., 1999). At the Nansen-Gakkel Ridge, it is thought that some AW, primarily from Fram Strait, returns along the ridge (Anderson et al., 1989). Other studies question the existence of a return flow along this ridge due to the absence of a warm AW core at the bathymetric feature and instead, postulate that heat is spread into the Nansen Basin interior by intrusive double-diffusive convection starting at Fram Strait (Swift et al., 1997, Steele and Boyd, 1998).

Fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the North Pacific to the Arctic: Field measurements and fugacity model simulation
2017, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :Two oceanographic factors, vertical water stratification and particle settling processes, may control the distribution patterns of contaminants within the Arctic Ocean (Cai et al., 2016; MacDonald et al., 2000). The strong stratification of the Arctic Ocean has crucial consequences for the distribution of pollutants and the coupling with the other oceans (Anderson et al., 1989; Carmack, 1990; MacDonald et al., 1989). In summer, a polar mixed-layer (approx. 0–50 m) was produced by the melting of sea ice and the runoff in the marginal seas.

A tale of two basins: An integrated physical and biological perspective of the deep Arctic Ocean
2015, Progress in OceanographyCitation Excerpt :Surface waters of the AO are comprised of a base of either Atlantic or Pacific origin waters (depending on basin location) and diluted by river inputs, ice melt and net precipitation (Yamamoto-Kawai et al., 2009). Far more river water is supplied to the EB than to the AB (Holmes et al., 2002); however, the residence time of these waters is relatively short, of order two years, as it is carried quickly from the basin into Fram Strait by the cyclonic flow of the EB and the Trans-Polar Drift (Anderson et al., 1989). In contrast, the accumulation of river water is especially pronounced in the Canada Basin, where the convergent winds of the atmospheric Beaufort High accumulate low salinity waters of both North American and Siberia within the anticyclonic Beaufort Gyre, making this gyre the most strongly stratified component of the AO (Aagaard and Carmack, 1989; Proshutinsky et al., 2009).

Arctic Ocean circulation, processes and water masses: A description of observations and ideas with focus on the period prior to the International Polar Year 2007-2009
2015, Progress in OceanographyCitation Excerpt :The idea of a return flow along the Gakkel Ridge was not new. It was suggested by Anderson et al. (1989), using hydrographic and nutrient observations from the Polarstern 1987 cruise across the Nansen Basin, and by Quadfasel et al. (1993), based on XBT observations of intrusions over the Gakkel Ridge taken from the icebreaker Rossiya in 1990. Quadfasel et al. (1993) proposed that these intrusions were created by dense shelf water entering from the Laptev Sea and subsequently advected as fossil signals with the mean flow towards Fram Strait.
