	Kara Sea, Kara Sea Information
		The Kara Sea is part of the Arctic Ocean (in the area sometimes called the Arctic Mediterranean Sea) off northern Siberia, bound by the Kara Strait (West, connecting to the Barents Sea) and the Severnaya Zemlya Islands and the Northern Land Archipelago (East, and the Laptev Sea).
		It is roughly 1,450 kilometres long and 970 kilometres wide with an area of around 880,000 km² and a mean depth of 110 m.
		The Kara receives a large amount of fresh water from the Ob, Yenisei, Pyasina, and Taimyra rivers, so its salinity is very variable.

	Novaya Zemlya - LoveToKnow 1911
		It separates the Barents Sea on the W. from the Kara Sea on the E. With Vaygach Island, between it and the mainland, Novaya Zemlya forms a continuation of the Pae-Khoy hills.
		Then farther N. is the Kostin Shar, a strait separating Mezhdusharskiy Island from the coast, and having at its N. entrance South Goose Cape, which forms the S. extremity of Goose Land (Gusinaya Zemlya) in 72° N. Next follows Moller Bay, between Goose Land and Cape Britvin, with several minor bays affording anchorages.
		On the W. coast of the N. island are Krestovaya, Mashigin and Nordenskjdld bays, and to the N. are several groups of islands - Gorbovyi, Pankratiev, the Gulf Stream Islands and the Orange Islands.

	Kara Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is separated from the Barents Sea to the west by the Kara Strait and Novaya Zemlya, and the Laptev Sea to the east by the Severnaya Zemlya.
		The Kara receives a large amount of fresh water from the Ob, Yenisei, Pyasina, and Taimyra rivers, so its salinity is very variable.
		Its main ports are Novy Port and Dikson and it is important as a fishing ground although the sea is ice-bound for all but two months of the year.

	Strait
		A strait is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.
		The terms strait, channel, and passage are synonymous and are usually interchangeable.
		That is, while straits lie between two land masses and connects two larger bodies of water, isthmuses lie between two bodies of water and connects two larger land masses.

	Polar Regions - LoveToKnow 1911
		The masses of ice in the straits leading to the Sea of Kara, and the impenetrable nature of the pack near Novaya Zemlya, had suggested the advisability of avoiding the land and, by keeping a northerly course, of seeking a passage in the open sea.
		Hudson Strait and Bay, Davis Strait and Baffin Bay, the icy seas from Greenland to Spitsbergen and from Spitsbergen to Novaya Zemlya had all been explored; but much more was not discovered than had been well known to the Norsemen five or six centuries earlier.
		As anticipated, she rose to the pressure of the ice and was borne on an even keel high above the water for the whole duration of the drift.

		Novaya Zemlya, the sickle-shaped island, is the western boundary of the Kara Sea, while the northern boundary towards the central Arctic Ocean is represented by the island groups of Franz-Josef-Land and Severnaya Zemlya.
		Via the Strait of Vilkitskii, a narrow gate between the Taymyr Peninsula and Severnaya Zemlya in the eastern part of the shelf-sea, the Kara Sea is connected to the adjacent Laptev Sea.
		The Kara Sea climate is predominated by the air mass distribution between the Siberian mainland (`Siberian high´) and the European North Polar Sea (`Iceland low´).

	Transport Programme - Oceanography - Final report - SINTEF, February 1999
		A laboratory model of the Kara Sea was built to study the transport routes of contaminants in the northern region (Barents and Kara seas).
		To document the 'fast track' flow of coastal water through the Kara Sea, a fluorescent tracer (Rhodamine) was discharged in the coastal current in the Pechora Sea, in May 1993, and monitored throughout the remainder of the simulation period.
		The core of coastal water at the eastern slope of the St. Anna Trough implies that this is the cold water mass identified by Quadfasel et al (1993) on the basis of temperature alone.

	ePIC: Recent freshening in the Kara sea (Siberia) recorded by stable isotopes in Arctic bivalve shells,
		This freshening affected the whole Kara Sea, and coincided with a lowering of regional air pressure gradients, as indicated by the declining Arctic oscillation index.
		The resulting weakening of the prevailing southwesterly winds diminished the inflow of saline Atlantic-derived water from the Barents Sea through the Kara Strait in the southwest, and, additionally, reduced the export of river water toward the north and northeast into the Arctic basin.
		Saline Atlantic-derived water thus was replaced by freshwater, which was successively accumulated in the Kara Sea and accordingly imprinted on the stable isotope composition of the bivalve shells.

	ePIC: Atlantic Water flow to the Kara Sea - comparing model results with observations
		The Kara Sea, due to its geographic location downstream of the main eastward Atlantic Water inflow through the Barents Sea, is strongly influenced by the history of the Atlantic Water masses which enter at its western entrances: the Kara Strait and the passage between Franz Josef Land and Novaya Semlya.
		The present investigation analyzes model results from 1979 to 1999 and compares them to hydrographic observations in the Barents and Kara seas with respect to the interannual variability of Atlantic Water flow through the western entrances of the Kara Sea.
		Most prominent are anomalously cold years 1986, 1993 and 1998 for the Kara Strait throughflow which are associated with weak eastward or even westward flow over periods up to several months.
