The oceans regulate our weather and climate from global to regional scales. They absorb
over 90% of accumulated heat in the climate system (IPCC Citation 2013) and over a quarter …

In 1982, Talley and McCartney used the low potential vorticity signature of Labrador Sea
Water (LSW) to make the first North Atlantic maps of its properties. Forty years later, our …

In the process of open-ocean convection in the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean, surface water
sinks to depth as a distinct water mass, the characteristics of which affect the meridional …

A May 2008 oceanographic survey of the Labrador Sea and recent Argo float profiles have
revealed that convective overturning extended to a depth of about 1600 m during the winter …

Abstract Labrador Sea Water (LSW), the lightest contribution to North Atlantic Deep Water
(NADW) and one of the most prominent water masses of the subpolar North Atlantic, has …

Ocean state estimates from 1958 to 2005 from the Simple Ocean Assimilation System
(SODA) system are analyzed to understand circulation between subtropical and subpolar …

In this study 36 hydrographic transects occupied between 1991 and 2007 in the vicinity of
the WOCE A1E/AR7E section are used to investigate various aspects of the Irminger Gyre, a …

Labrador Sea winter convection forms a cold, fresh and dense water mass, Labrador Sea
Water, that sinks to the intermediate and deep layers and spreads across the ocean …

A mean state of the full‐depth summer circulation in the Atlantic Ocean in the region in
between Cape Farewell (Greenland), Scotland and the Greenland‐Scotland Ridge (GSR) is …

Deep convection in the subpolar North Atlantic ventilates the ocean for atmospheric gases
through the formation of deep water masses. Variability in the intensity of deep convection is …
