Introducing LAB60: A 1∕60° NEMO 3.6 numerical simulation of the Labrador Sea
A high-resolution coupled ocean–sea ice model is set up within the Labrador Sea. With a horizontal resolution of 1∕60∘, this simulation is capable of resolving the multitude of eddies that transport heat and freshwater into the interior of the Labrador Sea. These fluxes strongly govern the overall s...
