Mechanisms behind the Temporary Shutdown of Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea: Lessons from the Great Salinity Anomaly Years 1968–71
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rom 1969 to 1971 convection in the Labrador Sea shut down, thus interrupting the formation of the intermediate/dense water masses. The shutdown has been attributed to the surface freshening induced by the Great Salinity ...
Assessing the Roles of Three Eddy Types in Restratifying the Labrador Sea after Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: estratification after deep convection is one of the key factors in determining the temporal variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea. In the subsurface, it is primarily governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes ...
Vertical Structure of the Beaufort Gyre Halocline and the Crucial Role of the Depth-Dependent Eddy Diffusivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Coastal Trapped Waves and Other Subinertial Variability along the Southeast Greenland Coast in a Realistic Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Seasonal variability in warm-water inflow towards Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easonal variability in pathways of warm water masses toward the Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord-Glacier system (KF/KG), southeast Greenland, is investigated by backtracking Lagrangian particles seeded at the fjord mouth in a ...
High-Frequency Variability in the Circulation and Hydrography of the Denmark Strait Overflow from a High-Resolution Numerical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractInitial results are presented from a yearlong, high-resolution (~2 km) numerical simulation covering the east Greenland shelf and the Iceland and Irminger Seas. The model hydrography and circulation in the vicinity ...
Lagrangian Perspective on the Origins of Denmark Strait Overflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Denmark Strait Overflow (DSO) is an important contributor to the lower limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Determining DSO formation and its pathways is not only important for local oceanography ...
