TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an almost 3 year long time series of shell fluxes and oxygen isotopes of left-coiling Neogloboquadrina pachyderma and Turborotalita quinqueloba from sediment traps moored in the deep central Irminger Sea.

TL;DR: Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic (OSNAP) as discussed by the authors is a new ocean observing system to understand the link between the meridional overturning circulation and deep water formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a near-continuous time series of 8 years of daily hydrographic profiles, recorded between fall 2002 and summer 2010 by moorings located in the central Irminger Sea, is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a heat budget model to estimate the long-term temperature variability in the Labrador Sea, and showed that this long term temperature variability mainly reflects the longterm variation of the net heat flux to the atmosphere, and that convective ventilation events, during which successive classes of Labrador Sea Water (LSW) are formed, occurring on decadal or shorter time scales.

TL;DR: More than two decades of hydrography on the Abaco line east of the Bahamas at 26°N reveals decadal variability in the salinity of classical Labrador Sea Water (cLSW), despite the long distance from its source region in the North Atlantic Ocean as discussed by the authors.
