Influence of the Atlantic Subpolar Gyre on the Thermohaline Circulation.

In the Science issue of the 16th of September large and unexpected changes in the climate of the North Atlantic ocean are reported by a team of climate scientists from the Faroe Islands, Norway and Iceland. They show that the oceanic waters off Northern Europe are exhibiting record-high temperatures and salinities, and that these extremes relate to changes in the circulation of the North Atlantic circulation since the mid-90s.

The Scientific Foundation “Nansen International Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre” (NIERSC) in St. Petersburg, Russia is a non-profit international research institution for environmental and climate research. It was founded in 1992. The major foci of the Centre are studies of Global Climate Change in the Arctic as well as Arctic environmental processes using satellite remote sensing, in situ data and numerical modelling.

The Nordic Seas comprise a small area of the world's oceans but contribute greatly to key climate processes and variations in the Northern Hemisphere and across the globe. As the site of the largest positive temperature anomaly among all the world's oceans, the Nordic Seas also allow scientists a place for research rich in detail, diversity, and implication.
