Book Description
Statistical and graphical description of the moored current meter and satellite-tracked data collected from September 1983 to September 1984 in northwestern Baffin Bay. Current meter data is presented as means over the length of the record and monthly means, ranges and standard deviations; time series plots of the hourly data and low pass filtered data; progressive vector plots; and tidal constituents and spectra of velocity components. The satellite-tracked drifters are presented as listings of twice daily positions and track plots of each drifter, as well as composite plots of all drifter tracks for 20-day periods.

Book Description
Baffin Bay Water is three-layered, consisting of cold near-surface and deep layers separated by a warmer mid-depth layer. The structure has undergone no net changes from 1928 to the 1960's, except for the possible warming in the mid-depth layer. Greater temperature extremes occur in the upper and mid-depth layers in northeastern than in northwestern Baffin Bay. The salinity of the upper layer is higher in northeastern than northwestern Baffin Bay. No horizontal temperature or salinity variations have been observed in the deep layer. The upper layer originates both from Davis Strait and from the Arctic Ocean, water from the former source being modified by cooling in Baffin Bay. The mid-depth layer is advected northward from Davis Strait. The deep layer above 1400 m originates in the Arctic Ocean. Below 1400 m, the origin of water in the deep layer is uncertain, although it appears to have come from the Arctic Ocean in pulses. A net southward baroclinic transport of about 2,000,000 cu m/sec occurs through northern Baffin Bay. Continuity is satisfied by an inflow of Arctic Ocean Water through Smith, Jones and Lancaster sounds. (Author).

Book Description
Excerpt from Oceanographic Conditions in the Northern Baffin Bay Region: 24 July-6 August 1970 Lancaster Sound (fig. 24d) contained water similar to that in Northwest Baffin Bay. Lower temperatures above 100 m. In Lancaster Sound than to the east reflect the net eastward flow of colder water from the Arctic Ocean. The temperature-salinity properties show, as during previous summers, a net inward flow via Smith, Jones, and Lancaster Sounds leading to a net southward flow through the system.

Winds and Waves in Lancaster Sound and Northwestern Baffin Bay
Author: Philippe Andre LachapellePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Waves
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Presents a study of derived wind and wave climatologies for Lancaster Sound and northwestern Baffin Bay. Geostrophic wind data were synthesized from a set of gridded mean sea level pressure maps. Wave hindcasts were based on the Bretschneider equations using geographical features and average minimum monthly ice conditions to limit the fetch. Accuracy of these techniques is examined. Statistics of wind and wave data are presented as frequency distributions, extremes and durations.
