Abstract

Based on multiyear current observations along 59.5° N in the Subpolar North Atlantic, multijet transport of arctic water along the eastern slope of Reykjanes Ridge producing the Iceland–Scotland overflow water (ISOW) in Iceland Basin is revealed. The main properties of the jet, as well as their contribution to deep water transport, are discussed.
