AR7W is a line crossing the Labrador Sea of the North Atlantic from Newfoundland (53°40’ N, 55°30’W) to the west coast of Greenland (60°30’N, 48°15’W). Since 1990, investigators at Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, have collected hydrographic data almost yearly along this line, and since 1995, lowered ADCP data have been collected as well. Repeated occupation of this line is expected to elucidate aspects of interannual variability in the Labrador Sea, including deep winter convection, hydrographic properties, and boundary current strength. Goals Our project deals primarily with the ADCP data, and has the following goals:
