Labrador Sea Water exported through Flemish Pass: Hydrographic trends and transport variability inducing processes ; Labradorseewasser-Export durch die Flämische Passage: Hydrographische Trends und Transportvariabilität verursachende Prozesse
This study investigates the deep flow through the 1200 m deep Flemish Pass, located at the western subpolar margin, constrained by the Grand Banks and the underwater plateau Flemish Cap. In addition to the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) pathway offshore of Flemish Cap, Flemish Pass represents another southward export pathway for Labrador Sea Water (LSW), a main component of the climate modulating Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Hydrographic measurements show a significant warming of 0.3 degree/decade and a salinification of 0.03/decade of the Upper LSW in Flemish Pass betwee... Mehr ...
