| An observational experimental setup will be proposed to investigate the dynamics and thermodynamics of the deep western boundary current in the “transition zone” of the North Atlantic, around Flemish Cap, Newfoundland. Located between the international RAPID and OSNAP mooring arrays, this region represents a unique choke point for most of the North Atlantic large-scale currents and water masses involved in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Horizontal export and latitudinal coherence, water mass transformation and vertical motions, as well as shelf-slope-interior exchanges will be studied with repeat hydrography, moorings, drifting and profiling floats, and gliders. Multidisciplinary approaches are likely, including biogeochemistry and... |
