The Lofoten Vortex (LV) is a quasi-permanent anticyclonic eddy with the characteristic of periodic regeneration in the Lofoten Basin (LB), which is one of the major areas of deep vertical mixing in the Nordic Sea. Our analysis of the LV contributes to our understanding of the variations in convectiv...
