Keldysh Current Links Atlantic Water to Kara Sea Slope

For nearly three decades, 25 shipboard transects have revealed a previously undocumented pathway of Atlantic-origin water across the Arctic. The newly identified Keldysh Current, named for the research vessel that made the work possible, transports warm, saline surface water from Novaya Zemlya to the Kara Sea slope. Crucially, this flow remains at the surface despite cooling, a finding that refines our understanding of the Barents Sea branch water's fate.
