0118033 SwiftThis project focuses on understanding the interactions of the Arctic Ocean outflow waters and Nordic Sea waters as they create the Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW) and the Iceland-Scotland Overflow water (ISOW) on the one hand and the Arctic Ocean influenced layers in the Nordic Seas on the other. Specific goals include: (1) determining the sources and pathways of fresh water out of the Arctic Ocean and studying the processes modifying downstream water masses; (2) determining the sources and characteristics of intermediate and deep waters of Arctic origin and their subsequent modification as they are exported in the Nordic Seas and North Atlantic Ocean; and (3) determining the pathways of Atlantic water through the Nordic Seas and into the Arctic Ocean and how it transforms Nordic Seas water masses. This new synoptic survey of the Nordic Seas will provide a baseline observation to understand the links between the various ocean basins in the region. This project is collaborative with Swedish scientists and is a contribution to the Climate variability and predictability program (CLIVAR).

0118033 Swift该项目的重点是了解北冰洋流出水域和北欧海水的相互作用，因为它们一方面产生丹麦海峡溢流水（DSOW）和冰岛-苏格兰溢流水（ISOW），另一方面产生北冰洋影响北欧海域的层。具体目标包括：（1）确定北冰洋淡水的来源和路径，研究下游水团的改变过程； (2) 确定源自北极的中层水和深水的来源和特征，以及在它们出口到北欧海和北大西洋时的后续修改； (3) 确定大西洋水穿过北欧海进入北冰洋的路径以及它如何改变北欧海的水团。这项新的北欧海洋天气调查将提供基线观测，以了解该地区各个海洋盆地之间的联系。该项目是与瑞典科学家合作的，是对气候变化和可预测性计划（CLIVAR）的贡献。
