The spatial patterns of the leading Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF1) of the low-pass filtered SSH anomalies in a satellite altimetry data and b in the ECCO model; c the temporal evolutions of EOF1 patterns (Principal Components, PC1) for satellite altimetry SSH anomalies (black), for SSH anomalies in the ECCO model (blue), and for thermosteric SSH anomalies in EN4 data (red). d The time-depth diagram of the upper 2000-m potential temperature averaged over the area 30°W–70°W and 25°N–40°N outlined by the black rectangle in panel a. The blue dashed lines in a, b show the 26.5°N (RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS) and 41°N transects, across which the observational estimates of the meridional heat transports are available.
