North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a water mass that is central to the oceanography of the deep Atlantic, the global meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and the climate of the Earth itself. The subpolar Atlantic is an especially important place for these phenomena because of the large changes wrought on NADW in these basins. Indeed, once it is discharged past 45°N, NADW temperature and salinity are altered at substantially slower rates before encountering Circumpolar Deep Waters in the subpolar ocean of the southern hemisphere (McCartney and Talley 1984; Reid et al. 1977). Formation of NADW, recirculation through the subpolar gyre, and injection into the subtropical ocean past Newfoundland are therefore central issues to ASOF science and are discussed here.
