Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea: Moorings, Hydrography and Laboratory Simulations
Observing and modeling the wintertime breakdown of the upper-ocean thermocline/halocline, including deep convection in the high-latitude ocean, and developing an understanding of its effect on the circulation: particularly at the rim of the ocean, and in semi-enclosed seas; forming a comprehensive v...

Summary: | Observing and modeling the wintertime breakdown of the upper-ocean thermocline/halocline, including deep convection in the high-latitude ocean, and developing an understanding of its effect on the circulation: particularly at the rim of the ocean, and in semi-enclosed seas; forming a comprehensive view of air/sea interaction both above and below the sea-surface; understanding the interplay of geophysical fluid dynamics and heat/salt/freshwater/ice thermodynamics, particularly involving involving coastal runoff and sea-ice. |
