Highlights: • Water mass transformation in Denmark Strait Overflow is localized in space/time • High transformation co-locates with maxima in eddy velocity variance and shear • Overflow eddies modulate the transformation, eddy heat flux divergence and shear Abstract: The Denmark Strait Overflow (DSO...
