| Summary: | The difference of the mean SL between the Low (12/92-11/93) and the High (3/96-2/98) is shown to the. The SL of the subpolar gyre rose from the High to the Low period by ~5cm. At the same time the SL along the mean paths of Gulf Stream, Azores Current, and North Atlantic Current fell by up to 15cm. period Dynamic heights and SL deviations at section A1E ( ) agree very well, which suggests that SL changes are mainly baroclinically induced. At section A2 the correlation is less pronounced- an indication that barotropic SL changes might be important in the northeastern subtropical gyre. left right University of Hamburg |
