A branch of the North Atlantic Current that curves north near Iceland, where a minor part of it splits to flow north along the west coast of Iceland and the major part curves to the west and joins the southward flowing East Greenland Current. Both branches ultimately rejoin the North Atlantic Current. The transport of this current has been estimated ar about 8-11 Sv.

Industry:Earth science
A broad zone up to 4°–5° latitude wide consisting of several cores or fronts interspersed by zones of relatively homogeneous waters. The STFZ is thought to be a more accurate desciption of what was formerly thought to be single front called the Subtropical Front, with the STFZ boundaries being the North Subtropical Front (NSTF) and the South Subtropical Front (SSTF).
Industry:Earth science
A buoy for measuring surface meteorology and upper ocean data. These Japanese moorings are used in the TAO/TRITON array west of 165E.
Industry:Earth science
A buret developed (along with a pipet) by Knudsen and others to obtain salinity values sufficiently accurate enough for oceanographic use via the chlorine titration method.
Industry:Earth science
A Canadian interdisciplinary science investigation under the NASA EOS program. The goals of CRYSYS are to develop capabilities for monitoring and understanding regional and North American variations in cryospheric variables, to develop and validate local, regional and global models of climate/cryospheric processes and dynamics, and the assemble, maintain and analyze key historical, operational and research cryospheric data sets.
Industry:Earth science
A center of action between Greenland and Iceland and extending to the Canadian Arctic over Baffin Island. It persists year round with some variation in intensity, extent, and central location. The center has a mean surface pressure of around 994 mb in January.
Industry:Earth science
A center of action centered off the coast of Baja, California at about 30° N and 140° W in winter. It moves northwestward to about 40° N and 150° W and intensifies in the summer and effectively fills in the Aleutian Low.
Industry:Earth science
A center that stores, retrieves and manipulates multi-disciplinary marine information from the areas around Southern Africa.
Industry:Earth science
A CGCP program to update and enhance the most extensive and widely used set of surface marine data available for the global ocean over the past 150 years.
