Volume and freshwater transport of the Labrador Current in Flemish Pass

摘要: A current meter array of 3 months duration from the Newfoundland shelf edge to 400-m isobath gives a mean southward transport Labrador Current 3.7 Sv with freshwater component 0.1 Sv. Over 2-month period, volume and flow increased by 0.09 Sv, respectively. Mean currents exceeded variable components factor 3. This estimate total is low because extends eastward beyond at least 1000 m. The through Flemish Pass estimated roughly range between 6.3 9.8 if archived data are incorporated observations this array. be 0.13 ± 0.03
