Summary: | The long-term goal is to further our understanding of the dynamics of open ocean convection, including evolution and interaction on different scales ranging from the mesoscale to the gyre scale. The two main objectives are (1) To determine where convection occurs in the environs of the Labrador Sea and identify what factors dictate this location, and (2) To quantify the broad-scale circulation in which the convection is embedded and reveal how this circulation influences the subsequent re-stratification. |
