- Title
The Baroclinic Circulation in Hudson Strait.

- Abstract
The baroclinic circulation in the mouth of Hudson Strait is modelled using general results for nearly geostrophic flow along an indented coastline. A simple T-junction model is first discussed, followed by a somewhat more faithful idealization that includes the sharp northern tip of Labrador, the southwest tip of Baffin Island and part of Ungava Bay. The results show that the mouth of Hudson Strait does not present a significant obstacle to baroclinic flow in and out of it. We thus conclude that the observed recirculation must be due to other effects.
