The East Greeland current as represented by the Mariano Global Surface
Velocity Analysis (MGSVA). The East Greeland Current transports very
cold, low-salinity water and Arctic icebergs southward. It is a source
water for the West Greeland Current and Labrador Current.

Figure 6.
Two Buoys, ID 23505 (red) and 23574 (blue), with very similar trajectories
in the East Greenland Current during 1995. Both these buoys illustrate that
the East Greenland Current is fed by the Irminger Current and that the East
Greenland Current feeds the West Greenland Current. The other primary source
water for the East Greenland Current is from the Greenland Sea, which lies
mostly north of the Arctic Circle.
