Changes in the high-latitude Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) are dominated by water mass transformation in the eastern North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre (SPG). Both observations and ocean reanalyses show a pronounced seasonality of the MOC within this region. Here, we investigate the na...
