Model investigation of the Slope Water, north of the Gulf Stream

摘要: [1] Four years of output from a high resolution (1/10°) simulation the North Atlantic is used to investigate maintenance Slope Water properties in region between Gulf Stream and continental shelf. The maintains distinct slope water that cooler fresher than spite active eddy field lateral mixing. A temperature budget shows Labrador Current local surface fluxes are equally important maintaining mass. Two consequences analysis accurate amount getting around Tail Grand Bank crucial viable mass, systematic reduction cooling due global warming has potential reduce formation increase influence along
