	The East Greenland Current
		The East Greenland Current (EGC) flows southward along the eastern coast of Greenland from Fram Strait (79°N) to Cape Farewell (60°N) via the Greenland Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Denmark Strait (Woodgate et al.
		Aagaard and Coachman (1968a) defined the EGC as the flow in the Greenland Sea occurring west of the 0° surface isotherm.
		Hydrographic data collected from the EGC in the summer allowed Schlichtholz and Houssais (1999) to estimate a southward geostrophic transport relative to the bottom of 4 Sv at 78.4°N. In addition to transporting water, the EGC also transports a substantial amount of ice parallel to the coast.

		The principal arms of the Arctic Ocean are the Beaufort, Chukchi, East Siberian, Laptev, Kara, Barents, and Greenland seas.
		The continental shelf encloses a deep oval basin (average depth 12,000 ft/3,658 m) that stretches between Svalbard and Alaska; E of Greenland the ring of the continental shelf is broken by the Greenland Sea.
		The Arctic currents are also less saline and lighter than these warmer currents, and therefore the Arctic water is at the surface and the Atlantic current beneath, where they are exchanged in the Greenland Sea.

	Inventory of Conflict and Environment (ICE), VINELAND Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Soon after the arrivals of the Viking in Greenland, the few trees of birch, willow and elder were soon wiped out and replaced with casual alien species such as sorrel, yarrow and wild tansy that arrived with them.
		The northern coast of Iceland grew increasingly beleaguered by drift ice; and off Greenland as the sea temperatures sank there was a disabling increase in the ice which comes south from the East Greenland Current to Cape Farewell, and then swings north to enclose first the Eastern and then the Western settlement." (Jones, p.

		The eastern surface area is dominated by the warm and saline (7-14°C, >35o/oo) Atlantic current, but all the way along the Norwegian coast the less saline coastal current lies as a wedge between the Atlantic water and the coast.
		Off the northern coastlines of Alaska, Canada and Greenland the shelf is generally 80-200 kilometers wide, but off the coast of northern Asia the shelf extends out for more than 1,600 kilometers at its widest and is nowhere less than 480 kilometers in width.
		It tends to be highest at the front between Atlantic water and the polar currents that move southward along the east coast of Greenland.

		The vessel headed for the Faxaflói section towards East Greenland, from there to the Látrabjarg and Kögur sections in the Denmark Strait, where drift-ice was hampering the work and not all the standard stations could be reached.
		One year-long mooring station in the East Icelandic Current east of Iceland (65°00'N; 11°17'W) was not recovered, possibly due to failure in the release warned by the supplier MORS after deployment.
		At the boundaries between the cold and warm waters off the east coast the warm water input was relatively strong (>8°C, >35.2) and the warm Atlantic water off the south coast was found quite near-shore, but covered with a thin surface run-off layer (~10m) in accordance with extreme calm weather conditions during the cruise.

		Abstract The East Greenland Current is the main conduit for the waters of the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas to the North Atlantic.
		On its route along the Greenland slope the East Greenland Current exchanges waters with the Greenland and Iceland Seas and incorporates additional intermediate water masses.
		In 1998 RV "Polarstern" and RV "Valdivia" occupied hydrographic sections on the Greenland continental slope from the Fram Strait to south of the Denmark Strait, crossing the East Greenland Current at nine different locations.
