A climate index for the Newfoundland and Labrador shelf

This study presents in detail a new climate index for the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) shelf. The NL climate index aims to describe the environmental conditions on the NL shelf and in the Northwest Atlantic as a whole. It consists of annual normalized anomalies of 10 subindices with equal contribu...
