Freshwater exports from Arctic to the Labrador and Greenland shelf andslope.

Publisher's version (útgefin grein) We investigate whether one can detect changes in the freshwater contributions to the North Atlantic subpolar gyre(SPG), in light of the observed recent decrease of salinity in the region. We focus on two important conduits offreshwater from the Arctic to the...

Description
Summary:Publisher's version (útgefin grein) We investigate whether one can detect changes in the freshwater contributions to the North Atlantic subpolar gyre(SPG), in light of the observed recent decrease of salinity in the region. We focus on two important conduits offreshwater from the Arctic to the interior North Atlantic subpolar gyre: the Coastal Labrador Current and thesouthern Greenland shelf, and use a dataset of different freshwater tracers from a set of cruises over the period2010-2014.
