Warm Atlantic water wants in, but is prevented from entering Isfjorden

14 October 2020

Isfjorden on Svalbard contains less warm and salty Atlantic water than in recent years and is now more like an Arctic fjord. Observations from the UNIS cruise in September show that the “door is closed” for massive intrusion of Atlantic water since the water masses in Isfjorden and in the coastal current have become much fresher than on the shelf outside Isfjorden. A reduction in Atlantic zooplankton in Isfjorden further confirms this. The possibility for sea ice cover in the Isfjorden system this winter is thus good.
