TL;DR: It is suggested that the conversion of warm, salty, shallow Atlantic waters into colder, fresher, deep waters that move southward in the Irminger and Iceland basins is largely responsible for overturning and its variability in the subpolar basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean circulation causes the largest freshening event for 120 years in eastern subpolar North Atlantic
N. Penny Holliday,Manfred Bersch,Barbara Berx,Léon Chafik,Stuart A. Cunningham,Cristian Florindo-Lopez,Hjálmar Hátún,William E. Johns,Simon A. Josey,Karin Margretha H. Larsen,Sandrine Mulet,Marilena Oltmanns,Gilles Reverdin,Tom Rossby,Virginie Thierry,Hedinn Valdimarsson,Igor Yashayaev +16 more
TL;DR: It is found that wind-driven routing of Arctic-origin freshwater intimately links conditions on the North West Atlantic shelf and slope region with the eastern subpolar basins, revealing the importance of atmospheric forcing of intra-basin circulation in determining the salinity of the subpolar North Atlantic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong Downslope Wind Events in Ammassalik, Southeast Greenland
TL;DR: In this article, data from two meteorological stations and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Interim Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) are used to identify and characterize these strong downslope wind events, which are especially pronounced at a major east Greenland fjord, Sermilik Fjord within Ammassalik.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Greenland melt triggered by large-scale, year-round cyclonic moisture intrusions
TL;DR: In this paper, the synoptic atmospheric conditions associated with 313 rapid melt increases, detected in a satellite-derived melt extent product, equally distributed throughout the year over the period 1979-2012.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep convection in the Irminger Sea observed with a Dense Mooring Array
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of strong convection in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMEOC) during the winters of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016.
