  25. A FISHERIES-RELATED ISSUE: CLIMATE VARIABILITY LOW NAOI HIGH NAOI A conceptual model of the large-scale response of the Gulf Stream/Slope Water system to the extremes of the NAOI. (left) During Low NAOI, the Gulf Stream shifts southward, accompanied by a westward intrusion of Labrador Slope Water (LSW). (right) During High NAOI, the Gulf Stream and associated Warm Slope Water shifts northward, thus displacing LSW (afterDrinkwater et al., 2006). The annual NAO Winter Index (NAOI) values from 1864 to 2010. The NAOI running mean (bold) shows “decadal” periods of High (red) and Low (aqua)) NAOI preceding the 1968, 1986, and 1996 and 2010 Low NAOIs.

  26. CLIMATE VARIABILITY: FISHERIES Smoothed maps of both northern and southern red hake spatial distribution in 5 yr time blocks using inverse distance weighting. Units of biomass are in kilograms per tow. (Nye et al., 2009) Cold Pool Climatological average NEFSC bottom temperatures with 6-9oC Cold Pool waters for(A) 1977-94; (B) 1995-08; and (C) (A)-(B). (Richardson et al., 2010).

  27. COLD POOL EVOLUTION: A seasonal sequence of Mid-Atlantic shelf bottom temperature maps based on MARMAP 1979 water property measurements.

  29. MARACOOS Gliders Measure the Cold Pool

  30. GLIDER’S –EYE VIEW of the COLD POOL The real-time 3-13 Aug 2011 RU-22 temperature transect reveals the Cold Pool.

  31. MARACOOS Models Produce Cold Pool Maps The26 July 2010 HOPS-derived temperature transects showing the Cold Pool; (upper) south of Nantucket (72oW) and (lower) New Jersey (75oW) .
