| | Abstract The East Greenland Current is the main conduit for the waters of the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas to the North Atlantic. | | | In 1998 RV "Polarstern" and RV "Valdivia" occupied hydrographic sections on the Greenland continental slope from the Fram Strait to south of the Denmark Strait, crossing the East Greenland Current at nine different locations. | | | On its route along the Greenland slope the East Greenland Current exchanges waters with the Greenland and Iceland Seas and incorporates additional intermediate water masses. |

| | ePIC: The East Greenland Current and its contribution to the Denmark Strait overflow |
| | No distinct contribution from the Iceland Sea was observed in the Denmark Strait but the temperature reduction of the warm core of the East Greenland Current just north of the strait could partly have been caused by mixing with the colder Iceland Sea Arctic Intermediate Water. | | | In 1998 RV "Polarstern" and RV "Valdivia" occupied hydrographic sections on the Greenland continental slope from the Fram Strait to south of the Denmark Strait, crossing the East Greenland Current at nine different locations. | | | The Arctic Ocean waters and the re-circulating Atlantic Water could be followed to just north of Denmark Strait, where the East Greenland Current encounters the northward-flowing branch of the Irminger Current. |

| | The other predominant current in the Arctic Ocean, the transpolar drift stream, carries water and ice from Siberia, across the pole and down the east coast of Greenland, joining the East Greenland current. | | | The Barents Sea current is generally weak and variable, as are the equivalent gyres that occur in the Norwegian and Greenland Seas. | | | This current flows in response to input from Siberian rivers, and a predominant westerly wind that pushes Arctic surface water eastward into the Atlantic. |

| | The Greenland Sea temperature and salinity variations are preceded by large-scale changes in near-surface salinity in the Arctic, which appear to propagate out of the Arctic through the East Greenland Current. | | | The oscillations, involving both the surface and subsurface ocean layers, have a timescale of approximately 40-80 years, and are associated with fluctuations in the inten sity of the East Greenland Current. | | | The cold SST anomalies and intensified East Greenland Current are also associated with enhanced northerly winds over the Greenland Sea. |
