A water mass found in the polar domain in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. It is identified as a distinct temperature minimum layer underneath the East Greenland Current and has salinities in the range 34.4 to 34.7 and is colder than 0° C. Since there is no sharp interface between this and the upper Arctic Intermediate Water, it is distinguished chiefly by geographic location.
