Intensification and shutdown of deep convection in the Labrador Sea were caused by changes in atmospheric and freshwater dynamics
Abstract 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. Convective mixing undergoes multi-year cycles of intensification (deepening) and relaxation (shoaling), which have been a...
