Cold, low- salinity current
- The East Greenland Current (EGC) is a cold, low- salinity current that extends from Fram Strait (~80N) to Cape Farewell (~60N). The current is located off the eastern coast of Greenland along the Greenland continental margin. The current cuts through the Nordic Seas (the Greenland and Norwegian Seas) and through the Denmark Strait.

Feb 15, 2017 · The East Greenland Current (EGC) is a major pathway for transporting freshwater from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic [ Haine et al ., 2015 ], as well as an important supplier of dense overflow water to Denmark Strait [ Strass et al ., 1993; Jochumsen et al ., 2012; Harden et al ., 2016 ].

Jul 1, 2008 · The main feature is the East Greenland Coastal Current (EGCC), a low-salinity, high-velocity jet with a wedge-shaped hydrographic structure characteristic of other surface buoyancy-driven currents. The EGCC was observed along the entire Greenland shelf south of Denmark Strait, while the transect north of the strait showed only a weak shelf flow.

Dec 12, 2018 · The East Greenland Current (EGC) is the main conveyor of freshwater (FW) and sea ice from the Arctic Ocean to the subpolar North Atlantic (Aagaard & Carmack, 1989). Large anomalies in the FW export are of concern due to the weakening effect that may have on the large-scale Meridional Atlantic Overturning Circulation (AMOC; Dickson et al., 1988 ...
