Atmospheric Forcing of Ocean Convection in the Labrador Sea
The long term goal of this research is to understand the relation between atmospheric forcing and ocean deep convection. Objectives: 1. The primary objective is to use ocean numerical models, remotely-sensed information and in situ ocean data, to examine the sensitivity of the ocean to various atmos...
