Impact of Downwelling-Favorable Winds on Eddy Formation in the West Greenland Current
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Downwelling-favorable winds off the west Greenland coast induce onshore Ekman transport, thereby limiting freshwater influx into the interior of the Labrador Sea. Although the eddies shed by the West Greenland Current (WGC) provide an important freshwater source, the role of the downwelling-favorable winds in eddy formation is still largely unknown. Using the output of a very-high-resolution (1/60°) model, combined with idealized model experiments, we find that the downwelling-favorable winds push denser water over lighter water, which leads to a gain in available potential energy (APE). Although symmetric instability attenuates eddy formation by flattening isopycnals, the net effect of downwelling-favorable wind is a more baroclinic front along the WGC and increased buoyant eddy formation, which provides an additional freshwater flux into the convective interior of the Labrador Sea.

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.
