Convection in the Labrador Sea and An Autonomous Oceanographic Instrument Array

Abstract

Describe the process of deep oceanic convection well enough to provide critical tests of, and guidance to, models used to predict subsurface ocean conditions. Determine where the water involved in deep convection in the Labrador Sea comes from and where it goes.
