Transformation of light to dense waters by atmospheric cooling is key to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning in the Subpolar Gyre. Convection in the center of the Irminger Gyre determines the transformation of the densest waters east of Greenland. We present a 19-year (2002-2020) weekly time series...
