dc.description.abstract	Formation of heavy bottom water through rejection of brine during ide freezing is a regular phenomenon in the Barents Sea, particular on the Novaya Zemlya shelf, but also observed in other shallow localities of the sea. Water with temperature around -1°C and salinity above 34.95 is found moving eastwards on the southern side of the Novaya Zemlya-Franz Josef Land Channel which communicates with the Polar Sea. The relative high salinity is a result of admixture from heavy water formed during the freezing process.	no_NO
