All change in the Arctic
Article Abstract:
Extreme amplification of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) by the late 1980s an early 1990s, carried a warmer, and fresher transport of Norwegian Atlantic Water to the Fram Strait and Barents Sea. SCICEX surveys showed a mutual front between Pacific and Atlantic waters which had shifted from the Lomonosov to the Alpha-Mendeleev Ridge. Following the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) example, unprecedented and system-wide change was observed through the ocean-atmosphere system of the Arctic.

From the Labrador Sea to global exchange
Article Abstract:
The Labrador Sea has been experiencing deep convection changes for the past few years. The continuous re-intensification and deepening in convective activity of Labrador Sea Water and its two adjacent convective cells, the Sargasso and Greenland Seas are attributed to the ocean's response in the changes in North Atlantic Oscillation a recurrent atmospheric circulation mode.

A change in the fresh water balance of the Atlantic ocean over the past four decades
Article Abstract:
Heat, freshwater and carbon dioxide, important constituents of the Earth's climate system, are reserved and redistributed by the oceans. A comparison of salinities which are used to diagnose rates of surface freshwater fluxes, freshwater transport and local ocean mixing, through the western basins of the Atlantic ocean is conducted.
