 following slide. The points are:
 –NAC (North Atlantic Current)
 –STMW (Subtropical Mode Water formation region)
 –SARG (Sargasso Sea, interior western subtropical
 gyre)
 –ESTG (interior eastern subtropical gyre)
 –EBC (subtropical eastern boundary current)
 –CRBN (Caribbean Sea)
 –TRDW (North Atlantic Trade Winds)
 –EQTR (Equator)
 •Two sets of analysis are presented for temperature
 –One year time series
 –Five year time series
 •Three cases are compared
 –HYCOM KPP
