A fundamental problem of oceanography concerns the nature of the sources of that water: their locations and temporal variations of strength. A stability analysis of temperature and salinity data recently taken in the Norwegian sea shows that bottom water probably does not form in that area. 2013-02-15T23:30:18Z 2013-02-15T23:30:18Z 1966-07 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/28017 en_US Monterey, California.
