Mapping Deep Ocean Currents: Uncovering the Hidden Pathways of Overflow Waters

The recent SWERVE funded FAROX cruise, led by Léon Chafik on RV Skagerak, set out to explore how dense overflow waters move between the Nordic Seas and the North Atlantic. By collecting unprecedented measurements of temperature, salinity, currents, and turbulence, the team mapped deep currents and investigated their role in shaping the climate system.

Investigation of deep water currents in the North Atlantic, to see how they affect the climate

Léon Chafik, Stockholm University, and Fabien Roquet, Gothenburg University, will investigate deep water currents in the North Atlantic on 2–16 July 2025. During the expedition they will make measurements in two important sea passages: the Faroe-Shetland Channel and the ridge between the Faroe Islands and Iceland.
