Description: Salinity and temperature measurements were made at 145 oceanographic stations in      northern Baffin Bay and the waters to the north as far as the southern fringes of the      Lincoln Sea. Intermediate water from the West Spitzbergen Current is shown to turn      westward and enter Lancaster Sound, being walled off from entering Smith Sound to      any great degree by bathymetry. Intermediate water from the Arctic Ocean flows      southward, the deeper and warmer parts truncated by a sill in Kennedy Channel.      Keywords: Electrical conductivity; Sea water circulation; Ocean bottom topography;      Oceanographic data; Marginal ice zones; Ocean currents; Water masses; Sir John      Franklin icebreaker; Arctic intermediate water; Canada.
