大西洋温暖的咸水流向北极，分三个支流穿过格陵兰-苏格兰海岭。自 20 世纪 90 年代中期以来，通过准永久系泊和定期 CTD 巡航的广泛监测已在穿越分支的三个路段上进行。 1999 年至 2001 年期间的平均流量、热量（相对于 0°C）和盐通量由于穿过格陵兰-苏格兰海岭进入北欧海的大西洋总流入量估计为 8.5 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3·s−1)、313·1012 W 和 303·106 kg·s−1。在此期间，大西洋流入的平均温度和盐度分别为8.5℃和35.25。在观测不确定性范围内，我们没有发现流量通量有任何显着的季节性变化，但通过法罗-设得兰海峡和通过其他两个缺口的流入通量之间存在负相关。
The flow of warm and saline Atlantic water towards the Arctic crosses the Greenland‐Scotland Ridge in three current branches. Since the mid 1990's, extensive monitoring with quasi‐permanent moorings and regular CTD cruises has been in operation on three sections crossing the branches. Averaged over the years 1999 to 2001, values of volume, heat (relative to 0°C) and salt flux due to the total Atlantic inflow across the Greenland‐Scotland Ridge into the Nordic Seas are estimated as 8.5 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3·s−1), 313·1012 W, and 303·106 kg·s−1. In this period, the average temperature and salinity of the Atlantic inflow were 8.5°C and 35.25, respectively. Within the observational uncertainty, we do not find any significant seasonal variation of the volume flux, but a negative correlation between the inflow flux through the Faroe‐Shetland Channel and through the other two gaps was indicated.
