Ocean eddies in Labrador Sea which influence deep convection
Irminger Rings (IRs) are mesoscale (15-50 kilometers) ocean eddies that are formed off the West coast of Greenland and travel southwestwards through the Labrador Sea.[1] Most IRs are anti-cyclonic (clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere).[2] There is considerable interest in researching IRs, because they have been hypothesized to influence deep convection in the Labrador sea, and therefore the formation of deep water.[3]
Map showing the mean velocity for 2020 and 2021 and depth contours of the Irminger and Labrador seas. Cape desolation marks the location where most irminger rings are formed. The 3000m depth contour is the contour Irminger rings tend to follow when they propagate. The bathymetry data is obtained from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean (GEBCO).[4] The current data is obtained from the CMEMs database.[5]
