From: The Transpolar Drift conveys methane from the Siberian Shelf to the central Arctic Ocean
Salinity and methane saturation along the 30°E and 90°E section in the southern Eurasian Basin in 2007. The core of Atlantic water is mainly methane under-saturated along the 30°E. Enhanced methane saturation at the most southern stations is induced by the shelf water outflow from the Barents Sea shelf. The most northern station is less influenced by Atlantic water inflow. Further east, at the 90°E transect methane saturation is increasing and more homogeneously.
