Abstract: "This book presents the systematization and description of accumulated knowledge on oceanic fronts of the Norwegian, Greenland, Barents, and Bering Seas. The work is based on numerous observational data, collected by the authors during special sea experiments directed at the investigation of physical processes and phenomena in areas of the North Polar Frontal Zone (NPFZ) and in the northern part of the Bering Sea, on archive data of the USSR Hydrometeocenter and other research institutions, as well as on Russian and Western literature. The book contains general information on the oceanic fronts of the Subarctic Seas, brief history of their investigation, state of the current knowledge, as well as detailed description of the thermohaline structure of all frontal zones in the Norwegian, Greenland, Barents, and Bering Seas and of neighboring fronts of Arctic and coastal origins."--BOOK JACKET.
