Abstract
The role of Labrador Current (LC) in providing freshwater to the North Atlantic and hence modulating the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has been debated with very few data. This study provides the first data on the relative speed of the LC for the past 9.2 ka using mean size of the sortable silt of sediments as a proxy from a midshelf basin in the western Labrador Sea. LC speed progressively intensified from 9.2 to 5 ka, during which two meltwater events had minor influence. The LC was fastest between 5 ka and 3.1 ka and gradually weakened after 3.1 ka. The mean size of the sortable silt data shows overall covariations with similar existing data from deepwater areas of the greater North Atlantic, suggesting an overarching link that modulates changes in both the near-surface and deep North Atlantic. A dynamical link between the LC and AMOC vigor is hypothesized in which high meltwater discharge in the Labrador Sea oriented the subpolar gyre (SPG) more north-south (meridional), weakening the SPG and thus decelerating the upper limb of the AMOC. Conversely, reduction in LC transport during the late Holocene, due to the greater export of sea ice, oriented the SPG more east-west.

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 it
