“…We are aware of two more citations (#1 and 2) that we added in continuation of Hansen and Østerhus's summary table. Two older estimates (#4 and 5) by Dietrich (1956) and Steele et al (1962) are included in Fig. 8 as well.…”

“…The fascinating transformation of ISOW within the sill area at the Faroe Bank Channel (FBC) has attracted numerous observational oceanographers for decades (Helland-Hansen and Nansen, 1909;Dietrich, 1956;Worthington, 1976;van Aken and Becker, 1996;Saunders, 1996;Hansen and Østerhus, 2000;Beairds et al, 2013). Practically all newly developed oceanographic instruments and equipment have been applied to the overflow phenomenon on both sides of Iceland.…”

“…However, in all cases, where this value was used it was impossible to get the plume to descend to a depth greater than 350 m before it was de ected by rotation to follow isobaths (descending the slope only very slowly thereafter). However, in problems concerning ow of dense water down slopes it is common to use the much higher value, k b 5 0.03 (e.g., Dietrich, 1956;Steele, 1959;Bowden, 1960;Smith, 1975;Killworth, 1977). We used both the conventional and higher values of k b when the Malin cascade.…”

We report evidence for cascading of shelf-edge water down the continental slope northwest of Ireland at 55N in February 1996. The measured surface density contrast between shelf-edge and slope waters was 0.01 kg m -3 and the resulting dense plume was 20-50 m thick over the continental slope and penetrated to a depth of 500 m. Cascade waters were warmer but saltier than overlying slope waters and their shelf-edge origin was con rmed by relatively higher chlorophyll concentrations and a distinctive nutrient signature. Other cross-slope transects 100 km north and south of the cascade site showed dense water at the shelf edge (a situation assumed to be favorable for cascading) but no deep downslope penetration of shelf water. A one-and-a-halflayer dynamical model indicates that the observed downslope penetration of the cascade can be accounted for by the measured excess density of shelf-edge waters even with a realistic level of entrainment of overlying slope waters.

“…In the Norwegian Sea, saline Norwegian Current water cools by evaporation. This extremely dense water spills over the Denmark Strait and Iceland-Faeroe Ridge to form lower North Atlantic deep water (Dietrich, 1956a(Dietrich, , 1956b or Norwegian Sea overflow water (Worthington, 1970). Evidence is presented that the Norwegian Sea could not have been a major source area for Norwegian Sea overflow-water formation during the last glacial age.…”

The present temperature regime of the Norwegian and Greenland Seas results largely from the warm Norwegian Current. This current is partially responsible for the maritime climates of northern Europe and Scandinavia, and it controls the distribution of planktonic Foraminifera and the extent of sea-ice cover in the Norwegian and Greenland Seas.Analyses of 6 piston cores show that Norwegian Sea temperatures during most of the past 150,000 yr have been much lower than they are now. Only between 127,000 and 110,000 B.P. did temperatures approach or surpass present-day temperatures. For the remaining time, foraminiferal faunas were similar to or even less diverse than those of today in the northern Greenland Sea, where ice cover is present in winter. This suggests that during most of the last 150,000 yr, ice covered all of the Norwegian and Greenland Seas, probably on a year-around basis. As a result, northern Europe and Scandinavia did not receive air warmed by the Norwegian Current as they do now. Additionally, the presence of total sea-ice cover prevented the formation of Norwegian Sea overflow water, thus altering the deep circulation of the Atlantic.
