Greenland’s glaciers

A Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) recorder and an
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) are deployed in
Sermilik Fjord in Greenland where WHOI researcher Fiamma
Straneo and colleagues are measuring ocean
temperatures. The team is investigating
whether warming subtropical ocean currents are causing the
acceleration of Greenland’s ice sheet.
