q 2004 American Meteorological Society Boundary Current Eddies and Their Role in the Restratification of the Labrador Sea*
An idealized model is used to study the restratification of the Labrador Sea after deep convection, with emphasis on the role of boundary current eddies shed near the west coast of Greenland. The boundary current eddies carry warm, buoyant Irminger Current water into the Labrador Sea interior. For a...
