Abstract
An anomalously warm saline layer in the bottom of the shallow Chukchi Sea
in August 1975 is believed due to a surge which drove water from the Atlantic
Layer of the Arctic Ocean up onto the shelf. Two earlier occurrences of this
kind of water in the Chukchi Sea have been identified in historical data.
