Deep convection in the Subpolar Gyre (SPG) forms a link between the upper and lower limbs of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The intensity of convection in ocean studies is usually estimated using mixed layer depth (MLD). Here MLD is derived using vertical profiles of potenti...
