[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Computer Atlas of the Newfoundland Basin and Labrador Sea was
designed to make simple, fast and reliable access to large volumes of
historical and real time oceanographic data. The choice of the Newfoundland
Basin and Labrador Sea was motivated by their importance in the entire North
Atlantic circulation and water mass formation, the existence of various water
