The Canadian Archipelago Throughflow Study and its ongoing International Polar Year extension focus on the dynamics in Nares Strait for the 2003/06 and 2007/09 periods, respectively. A moored array measures currents, temperature, conductivity, ice thickness and subsurface pressure near 80.5° N, and resolves the internal Rossby radius of deformation. We concentrate on variations in salinity and density across the section as a function of time and calculate geostrophic velocities, transports, and fluxes. The time-mean geostrophic velocity section shows a surface- intensified 25 cm/s southward flow adjacent to the western side of the strait and a weak 5 cm/s northward flow on the opposite side of the channel adjacent to Greenland. Salinity variations of about 2 psu relate to the freshwater outflow from the Arctic Ocean. A preliminary estimate of the geostrophic freshwater flux through Nares Strait is 48 ± 5 mSv (103 m3/s). This three-year mean estimate compares to about 30 mSv from earlier ADCP observations in the strait. We investigate across and along-channel pressure gradients forcing.

The present paper posits that arts experiences make a unique and vital contribution to the child’s development of language and literacy, as well as to the sense of self as an active and engaged learner. Emphasizing the significance of personal agency in shaping and motivating language and literacy development, the paper highlights some critical features that link aesthetic experience and engagement with the arts to models of learning and teaching. The relationship between these features and the child’s early development of language and literacy, and the special contribution of aesthetic experience to these processes, are considered. Exemplars from classrooms that have effectively incorporated aesthetic experiences with visual arts, poetry and storytelling as integral to language and literacy learning are presented.

Based on moored density measurements along 26.5°N in the Atlantic we show that the amplitude of dynamic height variability peaks between 500 and 100 km east of the Abaco shelf (Bahamas) with values between 9.1 and 11.0 dyn. cm rms. The amplitude then rapidly decays westward to 5.9 and 3.9 dyn. cm rms at 40 and 16 km east of the shelf, respectively. Sea surface height variability observed by satellite altimetry shows a similar decline toward the shelf. Consequently, the meridional upper mid-ocean transport (i.e., transport shallower than 1000 m integrated between Morocco and Abaco) displays variations of 3.0 Sv rms, whereas the integral between Morocco and a station 500 km, or 40 km, east of Abaco yields 10.7 Sv rms, or 6.0 Sv rms, respectively. A numerical model simulation is presented, suggesting that boundary-trapped waves may account for the observed decline in variability in the coastal zone as they provide a mechanism for fast equatorward export of transport anomalies associated with eddies impinging on the western boundary. A linear theory is then put forward that successfully describes the reduction of thermocline thickness variations on the boundary compared to open-ocean conditions. The results suggest that the impact of eddy-boundary-impingement on the upper mid-ocean transport measurements made at 26.5°N is too small to mask possible decadal trends in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.
