Fig 5a. Salinity variability
on Georges Bank (0-30m) (bars, left axis, PSU) versus the distance of the north wall of the Gulf Stream
(GS) from the shelf break in the Middle
Atlantic Bight (solid line, right axis, km). A one-year smoothing was
applied to the north wall series (T. Rossby, pers. comm). Note
that the salinity series leads the GS series by about 6 to 8 months.
