OSNAP moves the engine room out of the Labrador Sea
node
The first 21 months of OSNAP data, from August 2014 to April 2016, gave a mean overturning of 15.6 ± 0.8 Sv across OSNAP East and 2.1 ± 0.3 Sv across OSNAP West — a factor of roughly seven. Published in Science, the result contradicted the prevailing assumption that Labrador Sea convection dominates the strength and variability of subpolar overturning, and relocated most of the water-mass transformation to the Irminger and Iceland basins east of Greenland.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- Over the first 21 months of the OSNAP array (August 2014 – April 2016) overturning averaged 15.6 ± 0.8 Sv across OSNAP East and 2.1 ± 0.3 Sv across OSNAP West, contradicting the prevailing view that Labrador Sea convection dominates subpolar overturning variability.
