Generated using version 3.0 of the official AMS L ATEX template Assessing the Role of Three Eddy Types in Restratifying the Labrador Sea after Deep Convection
Restratification after deep convection, a key factor in determining the temporal variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea, is governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes. The role of three different eddy types in this process is assessed using an idealized model to simulate the restratificat...

Restratification after deep convection, a key factor in determining the temporal variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea, is governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes. The role of three different eddy types in this process is assessed using an idealized model to simulate the restratification season.

Irminger Rings are thus the dominant contributors to restratification in this area.
