海洋温度、盐度和氯氟烃浓度数据被用来跟踪最近从拉布拉多海向北大西洋北部扩散的中深冷水团。这些水团是由拉布拉多海深对流形成的表层水形成的，其扩散速度比之前估计的快三到四倍，对北大西洋温盐循环产生了相关影响。
Ocean temperature, salinity and chlorofluorocarbon concentration data are used to track the recent spreading of cold intermediate-depth water masses from the Labrador Sea across the northern North Atlantic Ocean. These water masses, which are formed from surface waters by deep convection in the Labrador Sea, spread three to four times faster than previously estimated, with associated consequences for the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation.
