This new OOI Data Lab invites students to investigate the development of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) in the Irminger Sea. The three stages of the lab attempt to illustrate the connection between cooling and winds at the ocean surface, and the large ‘conveyor belt’ of ocean circulation. The authors reviewed the activity and discussed a pilot implementation in an introductory meteorology course. Participants brainstormed on additional science supporting concepts and data that could enhance the activity.
