Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 39, No. 2, Pg. 15:
Deep water changes at Bermuda are illustrated by two contrasting years: 1959 (red curves) and 1987 (blue curves). During the intervening period, the deep water warmed up and became saltier between about 1,200 decibars (or approximately 1,200 meters) and the bottom. At shallower pressures, eddy variability (denoted by the dotted lines on either side of the annual means) obscures any differences. The long-term warming trend at Bermuda can be traced back to 1922, when accurate deep water temperature measurements were made by the Danish ship Dana II.
