The work was done as part of Norsk Polarinstitutt cruise R/V Lance 1992, in cooperation with the UK Hydrographic Office and the IOS Deacon Laboratory/James Rennell Centre. The first transect shows the temperature signature of the various water masses in the Greenland sea gyre. The second two transects enter the polar water masses and marginal ice zone from the West Spitzbergen Current.
