  4. Atlantic Water in Faroese areas - Temperature Temperatures in the Faroe Bank Channel decreased by 0.5 degr. C

  5. Atlantic Water in Faroese areas - Salinity Salinities continued to decrease in 2012

  6. Faroe Shelf Temperature 2012 1914 – 1969 Average

  7. Combining in-situ measurements and altimetry to estimate volume, heat and salt transport variability through the Faroe Shetland Channel B. Berx, B. Hansen, S. Østerhus, K. M. Larsen, T. Sherwin and K. Jochumsen Submittedto Ocean Science

  8. Faroe-Shetland Channel Faroe Bank Channel Observational section

  9. Period 2009 – 2011Up to 7 ADCPs on section S Net flow = High inflow – High outflow Highly variable flow structure

  10. Measurements Atlantic Water (> 5 °C): Net flow = Inflow – Outflow Correlations: Altimetry – ADCPs upper 325m 100 CTD sections 4 ADCPs: 1995 – 2009 + 5 ADCPs: 2009 - 2011 Altimetry: 1992 - 2011 R=0.74 R=0.87 R=0.80 R=0.67 Temperature

  11. FSC Atlantic Water Inflow Average Volume Transport: 2.7 ± 0.5 Sv Average Heat Transport: 107 ± 21 TW Average Salt Transport: 98 ± 20 · 106 kg s-1

  12. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union 7th Framework Programme (FP7 2007-2013), under grant agreements n.212643 THOR www.eu-thor.eu and n.308299 NACLIM www.naclim.eu
