Noticed on the latest SST Bracknell charts a very tight gradient to the
west of Iceland - from 8 degrees to ice in what must be less than 100 miles! It looks as if the NAD is curling (sorry for lack of technical term!) back more than I remember it in that region. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack5.html Cheers James -- James Brown |

The difference I notice from the 60s is that the gradient is further from Iceland than it used to be and, as you point out, the east-going warm offshoot of the NAD is more noticeable than I remember. The bulk of warm current west of Iceland - the Irminger Current - usually turns SW to parallel the Greenland coast alongside the East Greenland Current. I vaguely recall from the 60s a report from a ship in that area of a 10-degree difference in SST from stem to stern! -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK. E-mail: newsman, not newsboy.
