Short summary
Based on hydrography data (2002–2015) it was found that the average geostrophic volume transport of Atlantic water (AW) decreases along the Eurasian Basin slope from 103º E to 142º E and has a small value in the Makarov Basin. Maximum values of the AW volume transport, temperature, and salinity were observed in 2006. A trend of increase in AW salinity over time (AW salinization in early 2000s) was discovered. These results can be useful to anyone interested in recent change in the Arctic Ocean.
