Publication Dates	publication: 2019-11-26
Data Presentation Form	Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility

Supplemental Information	Submission Package ID: 38TMA1
Purpose	These data were collected as part of OSNAP, an international project whose overarching goals are to: O1. Quantify the subpolar Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its intra-seasonal to interannual variability via overturning metrics, including associated fluxes of heat and freshwater. O2. Determine the pathways of overflow waters in the to investigate the connectivity of the deep boundary current system. O3. Relate AMOC variability to deep water mass variability and basin-scale wind forcing.
