Questions of Freshwater Transport and Variability in the Labrador Sea

The transport of freshwater is analyzed in an eddy-permitting regional model of the sub-polar North Atlantic, focusing on the export of freshwater (in liquid form) through Davis Strait. The results show that, in these model simulations at least, convection in the Labrador Sea is not sensitive to enhanced export of freshwater from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, as the enhanced freshwater does not escape from the Labrador Current into the gyre. Analysis of net precipitation minus evaporation over the Labrador Sea since 1950, from NCEP and ERA40 reanalyses are also considered. Results from both datasets are comparable (and consistent with satellite based measurements over the more recent part of the study period) and suggest a significant increase in precitation over the Labrador Sea since the mid 1970s, mainly in spring and summer. Potential linkages between changes in the atmospheric precipitation and historical sea surface salinity changes, and the great salinity anomalies is considered.
