Subpolar gyre decadal variability explains the recent oxygenation in the Irminger Sea

Enhanced subpolar gyre intensity and enhanced winter convection linked to a positive North Atlantic Oscillation Index explains recent oxygenation of Labrador Sea Water in the Irminger Sea, according to an analysis of autonomous profiling float and shipborne observational data between 1991 and 2018.
