Figures

Figure 1. Propagation of the GSA'90s around the northern North Atlantic. Shown are transit dates of minimum salinities (years-1900). The circulation schematic after Ellett and Blindheim [1992, Figure 6].

Figure 2. Inverted winter Davis Strait ice index (open circles) and April–July salinity anomalies at 100 m depth in the West Greenland Current (offshore of Fylla Bank; solid circles). Both curves are seasonal means normalized by their respective standard deviations [Deser et al., 2002, Figure 15]. Three GSAs are marked by the author.

Figure 3. Comparison of propagation speed of the GSA'70s, '80s, and '90s based on Table 1 data.
