A description and analysis of mesoscale variability in the Färoe-Shetland Channel

A large part of the surface inflow to the Nordic Seas coalesces into a narrow slope current in the Färoe‐Shetland Channel, and flows along the Shetland shelf edge with mean speeds of order 0.4 m/s. Observations reveal that the flow is unstable and forms large mesoscale meanders with current speeds o...
