Evolution of key quantities in the Labrador Sea. Time series of the volume averaged temperature (T500, a), salinity (S500, b), and density (ρ500, c) in the Labrador Sea (45–60°W, 55–65°N) from the top 500 m in reanalyses and hindcast systems. For visual clarity, the hindcast systems are shown as grand ensemble means across all ensemble member and valid lead times for a given year with symbols and line styles as shown in the legend (identical in all figures). All hindcasts have been lead-time dependent bias corrected and mean-adjusted to compare to the ORAS4 reanalysis over the period from 1960–2013. The reanalyses are shown as solid lines without symbols
