OSNAP is designed to provide a continuous record of the full-water
1609
+
column, trans-basin fluxes of heat, mass and freshwater in the subpolar
1610
+
North Atlantic. It consists of two legs: one extending from southern
1611
+
Labrador to the southwestern tip of Greenland across the mouth of the
1612
+
Labrador Sea (OSNAP West), and the second from the southeastern tip of
1613
+
Greenland to Scotland (OSNAP East). The observing system also includes
1614
+
subsurface floats (OSNAP Floats) in order to trace the pathways of
1615
+
overflow waters in the basin and to assess the connectivity of currents
1616
+
crossing the OSNAP line. The location of the OSNAP East and West legs
1617
+
purposefully melds with a number of long-term observational efforts in
1618
+
the North Atlantic: the Canadian repeat AR7W program in the Labrador
1619
+
Sea; the German Labrador Sea western boundary array at 53°N; the
1620
+
global Ocean Observatories Initiative node to be placed in the
1621
+
southwestern Irminger Sea; the repeat A1E/AR7E hydrographic sections
1622
+
across the Irminger and Iceland basins; and the Ellett line in the
1623
+
Rockall region. Importantly, this observing system, in conjunction with
1624
+
the RAPID/MOCHA array at 26ºN and the EU THOR/NACLIM program, will
1625
+
provide a comprehensive measure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning
1626
+
Circulation (AMOC) and provide a means to evaluate intergyre
1627
+
connectivity in the North Atlantic. OSNAP is a collaborative effort,
1628
+
which includes several countries including US, Canada, China, France,
1629
+
Germany, Netherlands and the UK.
