Expected results

•Determination of climatic changes of water circulation in the Euro-Arctic seas and in Fram Strait

•Estimation of the water exchange between the Arctic and North-European basins at various levels from the surface to the bottom

•Estimation of brine and heat fluxes in Fram Strait

•Correlation model of Ocean-Atmosphere relation

Salinity in Farore-Scotland Straits

Salinity in Fram Strait

Page 22: Supervisors: Dr. Leo Timokhov (AARI) Andrej Rubchenia Dr. Vladimir Pavlov (NPI) Long-period variability of thermohaline structure and circulation of water.

ConclusionsAppearance of extremums of changes of AO Index in February advances by 1 year the corresponding extremums of year time numbers of temperature and salinity of waters in

the central part of Fram Strait and WSC waters on horizons from 0 up to 200 meters

The best correlation is observed between changes of NOA index and temperatures of WSC on horizon 200 meters during the summer period. The maximal factor of

correlation equals 0.72 - at advancing influence of changes of NOA index on 1 year

We can see significant correlation between ice production in polynyas and salinity on different horizons in the Greenland Sea. Time shift is about 2..3 years. The best

correlation is observed between salinity on 1000m horizon in the area of WSC and polynyas near Novoja Zemlya (r=0.83..0.99)

Formation of minima of temperature and salinity of surface waters in the central part of Fram Strait is distinctly connected with an intensification of cyclonic activity in area of

Svalbard.

An increase in the ice cover in the Greenland Sea in May and July leads to an increase in temperature of surface waters in Fram Strait, with time shift by 3 years, probably by

recirculation of cold and fresh water.

An increase of salinity of the Atlantic waters in Straits causes salinization of waters WSC, in 3 years it is revealed in an increase in salinity of waters in the central part of

Fram Strait.
