Barents Sea Opening
The
Barents Sea Opening (BSO)
is an
oceanographic
term for the Western
Barents Sea
, the sea area between
Bear Island
in the south of
Svalbard
and the northern extremity of
Norway
through which a
water mass
of
Atlantic
origin flows into the
Arctic Ocean
. The inflow of relative warm water into the
Arctic Ocean
occurs not only through the Barents Sea Opening, but also through
Fram Strait
which is much deeper. The
internal energy
entering the colder waters has an influence on the
atmosphere
and the
sea ice
above and therefore possibly on the global
climate
.
