VARIABILITY OF SUBPOLAR NORTH ATLANTIC CIRCULATION FROM ALTIMETRY

Altimeter data show that subpolar North Atlantic sea surface height has underwent large variations during the last two decades. Similarly the associated geostrophic velocity field exhibits large fluctutations in the strength of the subpolar gyre circulation such that the gyre was extremely strong in...
