Circulation of Surface Waters in Parts of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago Based on Foraminiferal Evidence

Аннотация

The distribution of planktonic foraminifera, collected 27 May-15 July 1968 from sea ice in McClure Strait, indicates a slow net eastward movement of water from the Arctic Ocean through the strait in the past with increased rates at present. The bottom topography, regional climatology and oceanography of the area are discussed.
