In the mid 1990’s, the North Atlantic subpolar gyre has shown a dramatic warming event that has been thoroughly investigated from observations and numerical simulations. Some studies suggest that it is due to an interannual, wind-driven weakening and shrinking of the gyre that facilitated the penetr...
