Abstract
The suggested model simulates advection and turbulent diffusion by Monte-Carlo method. As an example, the results of the calculation for fresh water transfer by East Greenland current in the North Atlantic are considered. It is shown that during warm season incoming Arctic water have no time to be distributed uniformly in the zone 50-70º N, as it was suggested in thermohaline catastrophe models. The currents width was set at 100 km, and horizontal turbulent diffusion coefficient was 1000 m2 /s. After calculations for 1.5 months, the initial particles concentration near the coast was 100 times more than at the distance of 250 km from the coast.
