Abstract: Deep wintertime convection in the Labrador Basin produces Labrador Sea Water (LSW), which spreads throughout the North Atlantic. The LSW is not formed with constant characteristics but varies on decadal timescale. These ...

Abstract: A synoptic distribution of Labrador Sea Water (LSW) in the eastern North Atlantic is determined from a regularly sampled, but sparse (3° resolution), survey covering 39° to 54°N, 11° to 34°W during spring 1991. The core ...

Abstract: It is demonstrated that current level models, both with and without assimilation, generate too shallow an overturning in the North Atlantic (just like their predecessors) because they do not reproduce the descent of plumes ...

Abstract: It is investigated how changes in the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) might be reliably detected within a few decades, using the observations provided by the RAPID-MOC 26°N array. Previously, ...

Abstract: A significant change in properties of the thermocline is observed across the whole Indian Ocean 32°S section between 1987 and 2002. This change represents a reversal of the pre-1987 freshening and decreasing oxygen ...

Abstract: he first continuous estimates of freshwater flux across 26.5°N are calculated using observations from the RAPID?MOCHA?Western Boundary Time Series (WBTS) and Argo floats every 10 days between April 2004 and October 2012. ...

Abstract: or decades oceanographers have understood the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to be primarily driven by changes in the production of deep-water formation in the subpolar and subarctic North Atlantic. ...
