Shelfbreak current over the Canadian Beaufort Sea continental slope: Wind‐driven events in January 2005

The shelfbreak current over the Beaufort Sea continental slope is known to be one of the most energetic features of the Beaufort Sea hydrography. In January 2005, three oceanographic moorings deployed over the Canadian (eastern) Beaufort Sea continental slope simultaneously recorded two consecutive shelfbreak current events with along‐slope eastward bottom‐intensified flow up to 120 cm s −1 . Both events were generated by the local wind forcing...
