Because input of saline Atlantic water is an important element of deep and bottom water formation in the modern Norwegian-Greenland Sea (see recent discussion by Swift (1986)), fluctuating Atlantic water inflow and sea-ice cover may be expected to have caused largescale changes in deep water circulation over the past 2.5 my.}, number={3}, journal={Polar Research}, author={Pfirman Stephanie}, year={1987}, month={Jan.}, pages={319-320} }
