Major pathways of Atlantic water in the northern North Atlantic and Nordic Seas toward Arctic
Open accessAbstract
The major pathways of near‐surface Atlantic water in the northern North Atlantic and Nordic Seas are identified as current speeds above 30 cm/s, using 1014 Lagrangian drifters combined with previously published hydrography. The inflow over the Scotland‐Greenland ridge and establishment of the two‐branch Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) are described in light of the circulation in the northern North Atlantic. The western branch of the NwAC appears as a jet in the Polar Front, topographically guided from the Iceland‐Faroe Front, through the Nordic Seas toward Fram Strait. The eastern branch starts as a shelf edge current above the Irish‐Scottish continental shelf, and after passing through the Faroe‐Shetland Channel, it continues northward along the Norwegian shelf edge toward the Arctic, with a branch bifurcating into the Barents Sea. The NwAC appears to maintain its two‐branch structure throughout the Nordic Seas, with the Atlantic water confined to a 200–600 km wide wedge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
