DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-4024-z
Abstract: The variability of the winter sea ice cover of the Labrador Sea region and its links to atmospheric and oceanic forcing are investigated using observational data, a coupled ocean–sea ice model and a fully-coupled model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemgeo.2018.12.019
Abstract: Abstract The Fe(II) oxidation rate was studied in one latitudinal and one longitudinal transect crossing the Labrador Sea. The studies considered the temperature, pH, salinity and total organic carbon (TOC) content. The pseudo-first-order kinetic rate,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116299
Abstract: Abstract Deep waters of the Labrador Sea (LS) are important contributors to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, but their water mass structure has been highly variable and sensitive to climatic changes on different time scales.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2019.02.004
Abstract: Abstract In this study, an idealized eddy-resolving model is employed to examine the interplay between the downwelling, ocean convection and mesoscale eddies in the Labrador Sea and the spreading of dense water masses. The model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.12.028
Abstract: Abstract The Labrador Sea is a vital region for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), where overflow waters from the Nordic Seas mix with locally produced Labrador Sea Water (LSW), before exiting to the interior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020jc016068
Abstract: Labrador Sea Water (LSW) is a major component of the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, yet LSW transport pathways and their variability lack a complete description. A portion of the LSW exported… read more here.
