Along the north\u2010western Svalbard shelf, the WSC splits into the shallow Svalbard Branch, the Yermak Branch that follows the slope of the Yermak Plateau, and the Yermak Pass Branch flowing across the plateau. The WSC has previously been studied using moorings, dedicated oceanographic transects, and models. In this study, we mapped the circulation patterns and AW flow around Svalbard using Vessel\u2010Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data from multiple surveys during four consecutive summers (2014\u20132017). Despite the scattered nature of this compiled data set, persistent circulation patterns could be discerned. Spatial interpolation showed a meandering boundary current west of Svalbard and a more homogeneous AW flow, centered around the 1,000\u2010m isobath north of Svalbard. In all summers, we observed a northward jet between 79 and 80\u00b0N and the 1,000\u2010 and 500\u2010m isobaths, before the WSC divided into the three branches. North of Svalbard, the shallow Svalbard Branch reunited with the Yermak Pass Branch between 10 and 15\u00b0E and a part of the AW circulated within Hinlopen Trench. The calculated volume transport of 2\u00a0Sv in the upper 500\u00a0m compares well with model results and previous observations. Our results further show that the Yermak Pass Branch can be as important as the Svalbard Branch in transporting AW across the Yermak Plateau during summer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/2018jc014299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,1]],"date-time":"2019-03-01T06:05:25Z","timestamp":1551420325000},"page":"1699-1716","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Atlantic Water Pathways Along the North\u2010Western Svalbard Shelf Mapped Using Vessel\u2010Mounted Current Profilers"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"124","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2680-9794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Menze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Marine Research  Bergen Norway"},{"name":"Geophysical Institute University of Bergen  Bergen Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3921-1038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Randi B.","family":"Ingvaldsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Marine Research  Bergen Norway"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Haugan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Marine Research  Bergen Norway"},{"name":"Geophysical Institute University of Bergen  Bergen Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2427-2532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilker","family":"Fer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geophysical Institute University of Bergen  Bergen Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6913-3368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arild","family":"Sundfjord","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Polar Institute  Troms\u00f8 Norway"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Beszczynska\u2010Moeller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences  Sopot Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8500-0867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stig","family":"Falk\u2010Petersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Akvaplan\u2010niva AS  Troms\u00f8 Norway"}]}],"member":"13","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/JC092iC04p03778"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2010JC006637"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3389\/fmars.2018.00194","article-title":"Seasonal variation in transport of zooplankton into the Arctic Basin through the Atlantic gateway, Fram Strait","volume":"5","author":"Basedow S.
