In the North Atlantic, a mighty current system conveys, via the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current, warm surface waters to northerly subpolar areas where deep water is formed. This current system, which is an important link in the global ocean circulation connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, also carries warm Atlantic water into the Arctic Ocean.

The Gulf Stream’s continuation into the Nordic Seas is central in the Earth’s climate system. Therefore, we need the ability to continuously monitor the total strength of the warm, north-flowing surface water and the cold south-flowing deep water.
