Abstract
This article presents the research works conducted in the marginal area of the Greenland Sea. During the research period, upwelling events, i.e., the rise of deep waters to the surface near the ice edge, were observed. Horizontal changes in water temperature were noted not only in the deep layers, but also on the surface. The water temperature near the surface under the ice field with a density of 6–7 mark was about 0.3–0.5°C higher than in ice-free areas; the salinity of the upper 30-meter layer of the marginal area was about 0.5–3.0‰ less than the salinity typical of the central part of the Greenland Sea.
