Transport and Bottom Boundary Layer Observations of the North Atlantic Deep Western Boundary Current at the Blake Outer Ridge.
The North Atlantic Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) couples the global atmospheric climate to the ocean interior, making it an important component of the global climate system. Formed primarily by high-latitude deep convection, this density-driven current flows south from the Irminger Basin near...
