This dissertation focuses on quantifying the physical processes in the Labrador Sea, such as wintertime deep convections, subsequent restratification, and the mesoscale eddy activities. The Labrador Sea is one of the areas where deep ocean is warming since 1998, so it has an implication on the recen...
