Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 39, No. 2, Pg. 28:
Thickness difference fields (left column) and temperature difference fields
(right column) were constructed by subtracting thickness or temperature in
two consecutive time frames at each 1–degree square in the North Atlantic. The
thickness represents the LSW density layer and temperature values are taken at
a density surface in the middle of that layer. Green–blue colors indicate layer
thickening and/or cooling in one time frame compared to the previous time
frame; yellow–red colors indicate layer thinning and/or warming.
