Dynamics of North Atlantic Deep Water masses during the Holocene.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>High resolution flow speed reconstructions of two core sites 
located on Gardar Drift in the northeast Atlantic Basin 
and Orphan Knoll in the northwest Atlantic Basin reveal 
a long-term decrease in flow speed of Northeast Atlantic 
Deep Water (NEADW) after 6,500 years.  Benthic foraminiferal 
oxygen isotopes of sites currently bathed in NEADW show 
a 0.2‰ depletion after 6,500 years, shortly after the start 
of the development of a carbon isotope gradient between 
NEADW and Norwegian Sea Deep Water. We consider these 
changes in near-bottom flow vigor and benthic foraminiferal 
isotope records to mark a significant reorganization of the 
Holocene deep ocean circulation, and attribute the changes 
to a weakening of NEADW flow during the mid to late Holocene 
that allowed the shoaling of Lower Deep Water and deeper 
eastward advection of Labrador Sea Water into the northeast 
Atlantic Basin. 

 
          STUDY NOTES: Sortable silt grain sizes data for box core HU91 045 093 HR 
and piston core MD95 2024 from Orphan Knoll in the Labrador 
Sea, and piston core MD99 2251 from Gardar Drift. At both 
sites sortable silt grain sizes were measured (mean grain 
size of the carbonate and opal free 10-63 um fraction), 
and for the site in the Labrador Sea benthic foraminiferal 
oxygen isotopes (epifaunal Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi) 
were also measured.
