Through the eddy activity of the Lofoten Basin and the persistence of the Lofoten Vortex, the residence time of the warm water is lengthened, leading to additional cooling of the AW before it reaches the Arctic Ocean. [4] Due to heat loss, the temperature decreases and the light-to-dense water transformation takes place.
