Sources and upstream pathways of the densest overflow water in the Nordic Seas
Overflow water is an important part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, yet how it reaches the Greenland-Scotland Ridge is not fully known. Here, the authors show that the interior of the Greenland Sea gyre is the primary wintertime source of the densest portion of both Denmark Strai...

| description | Overflow water is an important part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, yet how it reaches the Greenland-Scotland Ridge is not fully known. Here, the authors show that the interior of the Greenland Sea gyre is the primary wintertime source of the densest portion of both Denmark Strait and Faroe Bank Channel overflows. |
