Eddy diffusivities estimated from observations in the Labrador Sea
[1] Eddy diffusivities in the Labrador Sea (LS) are estimated from deep eddy resolving float trajectories, moored current meter records, and satellite altimetry. A mean residence time of 248 days in the central LS is observed with several floats staying for more than 2 years. By applying a simple random walk diffusion model, the observed distribution of float residence times in the central LS c...
متن کاملAn Eddy-Resolving Labrador Sea Modeling Studied by a Coupled Sea Ice-Ocean Circulation Model
Qualitative comparison between observed and simulated fields over the Labrador Sea is performed. The model simulates the observed mean horizontal circulations of the surface cyclonic subpolar gyre and the mid-depth (~ 700 m) cyclonic recirculations. The distribution of the eddy kinetic energy shows good agreement with the observed evidence over the surface in annual average. The model captures ...
متن کاملAssessing the Roles of Three Eddy Types in Restratifying the Labrador Sea after Deep Convection
Restratification after deep convection is one of the key factors in determining the temporal 5 variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea. In the subsurface it is primarily governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes during early spring. The roles of three different eddy types in this process are assessed using an idealized model of the Labrador Sea that simulates the restratification sea...
متن کاملAssessing the Role of Three Eddy Types in Restratifying the Labrador Sea after Deep Convection
Restratification after deep convection, a key factor in determining the temporal variability of dense water formation in the Labrador Sea, is governed by lateral buoyancy fluxes. The role of three different eddy types in this process is assessed using an idealized model to simulate the restratification season. For a realistic shape of the convection area, it is shown that in the model warm core...
متن کاملMesoscale Variability in the Labrador Sea
My immediate objective is to understand the interactions between convection and mesoscale circulation, in order to quantify the in uence of convective events on the large scale circulation. Such interactions include: (a) The lateral mixing generated by baroclinic instability and geostrophic eddy interactions. How e cient are lateral mixing processes in convective regions? Can these processes ac...
