The Rockall Trough (RT), a deep channel in the northeast North Atlantic (NA), hosts water masses of subpolar and subtropical origins. Large-scale atmospheric (North Atlantic oscillation, Eastern Atlantic pattern) and oceanic (NA subpolar gyre) settings have been noted as the major drivers of water m...
