Decadal Water Mass Variations in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean G C Johnson, J Bullister, M Baringer, C Mordy, C Sabine, J-Z Zhang, R Wanninkhof, & R Feely (NOAA/PMEL, NOAA/AOML, & JISAO) 4 sections at 20W between 1988 & 2003 reveal: SubPolar Mode Water (SPMW) trends warmer, lighter, & shallower. Marked AOU & PV increases below SPMW. Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) spreads northward. Labrador Sea Water (LSW) trends colder, fresher, denser, & deeper. Changes consistent with North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) shifts.
