Day 1: Arctic
Climate Influences on NW Atlantic
|

|
|
• |
Early & late
1990s FW anomalies
|
|
|

• |
Good evidence
early anomaly came from Arctic, likely through

• |
Late anomaly is
better described in GoM/MAB, but origins are less
|
|
clear

|
• |

top-down linkages, but trophic cascade not
|
|
|
supported by data
