Denmark Strait overflow pathway

E312348

deep ocean current pathway oceanographic feature overflow pathway

The Denmark Strait overflow pathway is a deep ocean current route that transports dense, cold water from the Nordic Seas into the North Atlantic, playing a key role in global thermohaline circulation.
