under a Creative Commons License. Ocean Science Detecting changes in Labrador Sea Water through a water mass analysis of BATS data
Abstract. A new water mass analysis technique is used to analyse the BATS oceanographic data set in the Sargasso Sea of 1988–1998 for changes in Labrador Sea Water (LSW) properties. The technique is based on a sequential quadratic programming method and requires careful definition of constraints to...
