a Ocean temperature and b ocean salinity at a target depth of 55 m from the mooring. Atlantic Water (AW) presence (defined as daily averaged temperature T > 0 °C) is marked by orange diamonds (right axis). The horizontal black lines mark the mean AW presence during these periods. Seasonal cycles for c temperature, and d practical salinity at 55 m from the mooring. The gray shaded area marks the mean ±1 standard deviation from 2003 to 2014 and the colored lines show individual years since 2015. Available vertical profiles of e temperature and f practical salinity from April/May at this site.
