Intra-seasonal variability of the DWBC in the western subpolar North Atlantic
Highlights: •A joint analysis of deep current meter records in the western North Atlantic. •Intra-seasonal variability dominates the deep boundary current. •Topographic waves near 10 d periods trapped over steep topography. •Basin centers are showing longer periods (50 d) caused by the eddy field. •...

Summary: | Highlights: •A joint analysis of deep current meter records in the western North Atlantic. •Intra-seasonal variability dominates the deep boundary current. •Topographic waves near 10 d periods trapped over steep topography. •Basin centers are showing longer periods (50 d) caused by the eddy field. •Observed variability characteristics compared to high resolution model simulation. |
