NACLIM - Fluxes: (DWBC) Labrador Sea Deep Western Boundary Current transport at 53° N
Description
Last update: 17 October 2014 Data set: Labrador Sea Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) transport at 53° N Description: 5-day averages of DWBC along-shore volume transport as measured at the 53° N mooring array, per water mass in depth layers Period: July 1997 – April 2012 Location: 53° 0′ N 51° 0′ W Instruments: Moored rotor current meters (RCM); acoustic current meters (ACM); acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) Variables: NADW, NEADW, DSOW, LNADW - along-shore volume transport for each water mass (LSW transport may be derived as described in the readme-file) Source: Johannes Karstensen, Jürgen Fischer and Rainer Zantopp (GEOMAR) About the data: LabSea53N_DWBC.dat (ASCII): This is the updated DWBC transports at 53N in ascii form, including all available data from July 1997 to April 2012 LabSea53N_DWBC.nc (netCDF) Plot (JPEG): The export of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) from the moored array at the exit of the Labrador Sea. Data at 5day resolution (red and green lines), for 90day low-pass time series (black), and as annual mean transports (blue bars) – see legend in the graph. Transport statistics also included.
