The Bermuda station ‘‘S’ ’ time series has been used to define the variability of subtropical mode water (STMW) from 1954 to 1995. This record, which shows decadal variability at a nominal period of about 12–14 yr, has been used as a baseline for seeking correlation with large-scale atmospheric forc...
