Here, we use a high-resolution ocean model to show that only 1–15% of the surface meltwater runoff originating from southwest Greenland is transported westwards. In contrast, up to 50–60% of the meltwater runoff originating from southeast Greenland is transported westwards into the northern Labrador Sea, leading to significant salinity and stratification anomalies far from the coast. Doubling meltwater runoff, as predicted in future climate scenarios, results in a more-than-double increase in anomalies offshore that persists further into the winter.<br /><br />http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ngeo2708.html<br /><br />Good call -Bobby Darin!(bath theme) Love your jukebox!<br />One for you!<br /><br />"Your faith was strong but you needed proof<br /> You saw her bathing on the roof<br /> Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you<br /> She tied you to a kitchen chair<br /> She broke your throne, and she cut your hair<br /> And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah"<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKnxmkOAj88<br /><br /><br />mark hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363775941512045745noreply@blogger.com
