Abstract
During the 1955 cruise of HMCS Labrador to the Canadian Arctic an unusual mass of cold saline water was discovered in Foxe Basin and Channel. Temperatures as low as −1.90 °C were observed in association with salinities of the order of 33.75 and 34.00‰.An explanation of the origin of this water is presented and compared with additional studies conducted by the author in the same area in 1956.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
