Abstract
North Water is the name given to an unsually large polynya, or semipermanent ice‐free water area, at the northern end of Baffin Bay between Greenland and Ellesmere Island. It has been the subject of an international study program aimed at establishing the causes and quantitative impact of this open water area. The following report is by the Swiss team, which has been concerned mainly with the climatic and glaciological impact of North Water. Both a numerical model and a black‐box model are proposed for airmass transformation resulting from interaction between water and atmosphere in the North Water area.Keywords
