North Atlantic Deep Water ( NADW ) is a water mass that forms in the North Atlantic Ocean.

In the Norwegian Sea evaporative cooling is predominant, and the sinking water mass, the North Atlantic Deep Water ( NADW ), fills the basin and spills southwards through crevasses in the submarine sills that connect Greenland, Iceland and Great Britain.

The sea provides a significant part of the North Atlantic Deep Water ( NADW ) – a cold water mass that flows at great depth along the western edge of the North Atlantic, spreading out to form the largest identifiable water mass in the World Ocean.

Common water masses in the world ocean are: Antarctic Bottom Water ( AABW ), North Atlantic Deep Water ( NADW ), Circumpolar Deep Water ( CDW ), Antarctic Intermediate Water ( AAIW ), Subantarctic Mode Water ( SAMW ), Arctic Intermediate Water ( AIW ), the central waters of various oceanic basins, and various surface waters.

In the " conveyor belt " model of the thermohaline circulation of the world ocean, the sinking of NADW pulls the waters of the North Atlantic drift northward ; however, this is almost certainly an oversimplification of the actual relationship between NADW formation and the strength of the Gulf Stream / North Atlantic drift.

It is also hypothesized that during the Last Glacial Maximum ( LGM ), NADW was replaced with an analogous watermass that occupied a shallower depth known as Glacial North Atlantic Intermediate Water ( GNAIW ).

The resulting Antarctic Bottom Water ( AABW ) sinks and flows north into the Atlantic Basin, but is so dense it actually underflows the NADW.
