Evaluating altimetry-derived surface currents on the south Greenland shelf with surface drifters
Coquereau, A., & Foukal, N. P., 2023. Evaluating altimetry-derived surface currents on the south Greenland shelf with surface drifters. Ocean Science, 19(5), 1393–1411. https://doi.org/10.5194/os-19-1393-2023 The pathways and fate of freshwater in the East Greenland Coastal Current (EGCC) are crucial to the climate system. The EGCC transports large amounts of freshwater in close proximity to sites of deep open-ocean…
