Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Labrador Sea Water exported through Flemish Pass: Hydrographic trends and transport variability inducing processes(2017-07-06); ; ; This study investigates the deep flow through the 1200 m deep Flemish Pass, located at the western subpolar margin, constrained by the Grand Banks and the underwater plateau Flemish Cap. In addition to the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) pathway offshore of Flemish Cap, Flemish Pass represents another southward export pathway for Labrador Sea Water (LSW), a main component of the climate modulating Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Hydrographic measurements show a significant warming of 0.3 degree/decade and a salinification of 0.03/decade of the Upper LSW in Flemish Pass between 1993 and 2013. Ship-based velocity measurements between 2009 and 2013 in Flemish Pass and in the DWBC east of Flemish Cap revealed a considerable southward transport of Upper LSW through Flemish Pass (15 - 27%). Mooring based transport time series revealed an average southward LSW transport of -1.9 Sv (-1.4 Sv) and a range of -3.5 Sv to 0.7 Sv (-5 Sv to 3 Sv) in Flemish Pass in 2012 - 2013 (2013 - 2014). The dominant LSW transport variability was observed on intra-seasonal time scales of 20 - 50 days and related to topographic Rossby waves trapped at the western slope of Flemish Pass.Dissertation847 429 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Characteristics and causes of Irminger Water variability in the subpolar North Atlantic between 1993 and 2022(2023-12-13); ; ; ; Irminger Water (IW) originates in the subtropical North Atlantic and is transported northeastward with the North Atlantic Current. It is located in the Irminger Sea and the boundary current system (BCS) off Greenland and Labrador. As the warmest and most saline water mass in this region, it impacts glacial melt and convection in the Irminger and Labrador Seas. This thesis focuses on analyzing temporal and spatial variability of IW using the ARMOR3D data set from 1993 to 2022. It adds to analyzing IW in an ocean reanalysis and different model simulations. Utilizing data from ship surveys to the west of Greenland (at eastern AR7W), a local validation of ARMOR3D is performed. Eastern AR7W exhibits IW hydrography and volume transport variability. Seasonal variability results from colder and fresher waters formed during winter convection in the Irminger and Labrador Seas. On multi-year time scales, subpolar gyre changes tied to the North Atlantic Oscillation lead IW volume transports at eastern AR7W by up to three years. The commonly used static IW definitions generate a physically unrealistic boundary between IW and colder, fresher ambient waters. This thesis introduces a new method using non-static thresholds considering large-scale changes in the subpolar North Atlantic. This method infers hydrographic variability in an Irminger Sea subregion into the BCS. Results indicate that the static method overestimates IW volume transports by 1.3\,Sv in saline years and underestimates it 0.9\,Sv in fresh years. Another method, based on local water column hydrography, examines warm, saline water variability in regions where IW is mixed with ambient waters. This thesis provides a new understanding of the characteristics and causes behind IW's spatial and temporal variability. The newly developed methods offer IW variability using a more physical and process-oriented approach of temporally varying hydrographic thresholds.Dissertation262 155
