Abstract

NSOW flowing through the Faroe-Shetland Channel has a complex flowing pattern into the Iceland Basin. One branch flows across the Wyville-Thomson Ridge, along the southern flanks of the Faroe, Bill Bailey and Lousy Banks before turning north along the western flank of Lousy Bank. A general increase in the Norwegian Sea
Overflow Water intensity in the area north of Bill Bailey Bank is shown, based on sediment cores.
