The long-term North Atlantic Cold Anomaly (Cold Blob) was largely the consequence of three major episodes of low sea surface temperature (SST) in the subpolar North Atlantic in 1972-74, 1984-85 and 1991-94. Each of these episodes correlated with unusually low SST at Flemish Cap (a subsurface island...
