Spatial distribution of ocean temperatures and anomalies. (a) Ocean heat content, 0–700 m, for the period July 2014–June 2016 minus the reference period (July 2004–June 2012). Black contours show the mean dynamic ocean topography, while the red triangles indicate the longitudes (52°W and 30°W) for the panels to the right. The map was created using Generic Mapping Toolbox v5.2.1 (gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/). Temperature section from EN4 objectively analysed data at (b) 52°W and (c) 30°W in the Atlantic, for the reference period. (d,e) As for (b) and (c), but showing the difference between the 2014/16 period and the reference period. Positive (negative) values indicate warming (cooling) since the reference period.
