Contrasting trends in North Atlantic deep-water formation in the Labrador Sea and Nordic Seas during the Holocene
The Holocene North Atlantic deep-water formation is studied in a 9,000-year long simulation with a coupled climate model of intermediate complexity, forced by changes in orbital forcing and atmospheric trace gas concentrations. During the experiment, deep-water formation in the Nordic Seas is reduce...
