Mean circulation and EKE distribution in the Labrador Sea Water level of the subpolar North Atlantic

A long-term mean flow field for the subpolar North Atlantic region with a horizontal resolution of approximately 25km is created by gridding Argo-derived velocity vectors using two different topography-following interpolation schemes. The 10-day float displacements in the typical drift depths of 100...
