“…The resulting flow regime conformed well to the patterns postulated by Coachman et al (1975) . Figure 9 from MIZPAC 78 shows results closely corresponding to Graham's (1978) hypothesis. support Graham (1978) who predicted such fronts when the flow of southern water is weak and parallel to the ice edge.…”

“…The three areas described by Graham (1978) and modified slightly by Paquette and Bourke (1978b) Figure 3. A sharp halocline extending anywhere from 2 to 18 m below the surface is found to normally divide the water of this area into two layers of sharply differing salinities.…”

In summer at the edge of the retreating ice pack in the Chukchi Sea, a sharp temperature and salinity front is formed as the result of ice melt by warm surface water from the south. Beneath this front another front is present, formed from the juxtaposition of the resident winter bottom water under the ice and a water transitional between it and warm summer water flowing northward from Bering Strait. The two fronts may be coincident where the current shears parallel to the ice with low to moderate lateral mixing. They may also be widely separated in areas where the current impinges normal to the ice, most often within ice embayments. On the flanks of rapidly moving streams, wedge‐like frontal interfaces in the lower layer are likely to be found. These fronts are often rich in temperature fine structure. The ice melt‐back patterns and the various frontal arrangements appear to be controlled by steering of the currents by bottom bathymetry.
