Conditions of salinity anomaly formation in the Nordic Seas
Climatic conditions of 1950-1960s that preceded the “Great Salinity Anomaly” with the 1970s outcome correspond to present-day conditions. A comparative analysis of the air temperature, salinity of the upper layer, ice concentration, sea ice export through the Fram Strait and weather conditions for the indicated periods allowed to estimate the possibility of a new intense salinity anomaly occurrence in the subarctic North Atlantic.
