The observations and changes in the hydrographic parameters temperature, salinity and oxygen during the 1980s off West Greenland are described and discussed in the light of a climatic cooling, which occupied the Davis Strait area during the period 1982-84. The analysis which includes time-series data from 1963 has revealed great negative anomalies in the temperature-salinity characteristic due to the atmospheric influence, which has led to changes in the circulation pattern as well as the sea ice distribution in the Davis Strait.
