European Geosciences Union Ocean Science Water mass transformation in the North Atlantic over 1985–2002

Abstract. Water mass transformation in the North Atlantic is examined in an eddy-permitting simulation with the OC-CAM ocean general circulation model, forced by realistic surface fluxes over the period 1985–2002. Three Atlantic regions are considered – the subtropics, mid-latitudes, the northeast A...

Description
Summary:Abstract. Water mass transformation in the North Atlantic is examined in an eddy-permitting simulation with the OC-CAM ocean general circulation model, forced by realistic surface fluxes over the period 1985–2002. Three Atlantic regions are considered – the subtropics, mid-latitudes, the northeast Atlantic – along with the Labrador Sea. The oceanic boundaries of each region coincide with hydrographic sections occupied in recent years. These regions broadly represent the formation sites of Eighteen Degree
