Left: time series of Labrador Sea Water properties in its source region. Thickness is the vertical distance (meters) between two density surfaces that bracket the Labrador Sea Water. The North Atlantic Oscillation index has been over-plotted on the thickness axis with high index shaded red and low index blue. Years in which surface salinity anomalies occupied the Labrador Basin are shaded green.
Right: depth profiles of temperature
for three different years contrasting the Labrador Sea Water temperature in its cool period before World War II (1935), the peak of warming (1971), and at its coldest point (1993).
