Towards Predicting Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea

This study contributes to a better understanding of the deep convective process in the ocean. In particular we are interested in the skill of prediction systems using real time data in combination with dynamical ocean models to forecast the oceanic state a few weeks up to a few month in advance.

Description
Summary:This study contributes to a better understanding of the deep convective process in the ocean. In particular we are interested in the skill of prediction systems using real time data in combination with dynamical ocean models to forecast the oceanic state a few weeks up to a few month in advance. Finally, we would like to unravel the interaction of the deep convection with mesoscale eddies.
