Abstract

Environmentally-related work in Denmark Strait during more than 100 years elaborates the fascinating variability of air-sea-bottom interaction in this part of the North Atlantic Ocean. From the available literature and recent observations in the Dohrn Bank region, the order of magnitude of this variability is demonstrated.
