Wassermassenzirkulation und Variabilität im subpolaren Nordatlantik
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study focuses on estimating the variability in the formation of Upper and classical Labrador Sea Water (ULSW and LSW). Both are formed by winterly convection and spread into the world ocean as part of the cold limb of the thermohaline circulation. Analyses are based on a large-scale hydrography/tracer data set from the years 1997, 1999, and 2001. Horizontal fields of water mass layer thickness and mean concentrations of chlorofluorcarbon (CFC) have been constructed to determine the CFC inventory of each water mass and to infer water mass formation rates. The years 1997-2001 showed a significant increase in the CFC inventory of ULSW, while the inventory of classical LSW reduced. During 1997-1999 formation of ULSW was strong (6.9-9.2 Sv). From 1999 to 2001 the ULSW formation rate reduced to 3.7-4.0 Sv. LSW formation was absent during these four years. Historical hydrographic data from the Labrador Sea have been used to compare water mass properties of ULSW and LSW on longer time scales. Time series indicate strong variability and a significant anti-correlation of ULSW and LSW formation. Coinciding with weakening convection the density surface that separates ULSW from classical LSW shifted to greater depths. Water layer lying on top of LSW revealed an increasing stratification which is presumably strengthened by warm and saline water intruding from the West Greenland Current into the interior Labrador Sea. Time series of sea surface fluxes indicated a change in the atmospheric conditions after 1995/96. The convection activity at that time was, however, sufficient to ventilate the ULSW layer. Analyses of deep and bottom water properties provided evidence for the existence of export pathways in the Newfoundland Basin that are additional to the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC). LSW spreading time scales point to a fast spreading in the DWBC (1-2 years from the Labrador Sea to 43°N) and a slow spreading in the interior Newfoundland Basin (3-6 years).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
