Schott, F.A., Fischer, J., Dengler, M. and Zantopp, R. (2006). Variability of the Deep Western Boundary Current east of the Grand Banks. Geophysical Research Letters 33: doi: 10.1029/2006GL026563. issn: 0094-8276.

The Deep Western Boundary Current east of the Grand Banks has been observed during 1999--2005 by moored current-meter stations and shipboard current profiling sections. These recent observations can be compared with those of a WOCE moored array deployed during 1993--95 at the same location. Overall, the observations of Deep Water currents east of the Grand Banks reported here do not support suggestions of a basin-wide "slowdown" of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
