NorthEast Water Polynya (NEWP)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The NorthEast Water Polynya (NEWP) is a coastal, reduced-ice region on the
northeast Greenland shelf between 77 degrees north and 81 degrees north. It is
the northernmost of several polynyas along the east Greenland coast.


The overall objective of the NEWP project was to gain an interdisciplinary,
integrated understanding of arctic shelf-slope processes in a "model" polynya
system.


The objective of the physical component was to determine the local currents,
particularly in the polynya's bathymetric trough system.
