An abrupt shift in the Labrador Current System in relation to winter NAO events
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The behavior of the Labrador Current during the period from 1990 to 2007 is investigated with an eddy‐resolving circulation model for the North Atlantic Ocean. An EOF analysis of the model output suggests that the variability in the Labrador Current can be partitioned into a western Labrador Current (WLC; from the 300–2500 m isobaths), and an eastern Labrador Current (ELC; from the 2500 to 3300 m isobaths). The model results demonstrate that the WLC transport experienced an abrupt increase during 2000–2002, consistent with data. This differed significantly from the ELC transport which was strong during the high winter NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) years (1990–1995) and then steadily declined. This ELC trend is consistent with changes in the modeled Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and convection depth. Our study proposes that the change in the WLC is due to a southwestward shift of the atmospheric circulation pattern starting in 2001, coincident with a change in the 2001 NAO index, and also in a westward shift of the action centers of the winter NAO events.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
