Wind-driven decadal sea surface height and main pycnocline depth changes in the western subarctic North Pacific

Abstract The northward shrinkage of the North Pacific western subarctic gyre (WSAG) in the early 2000s is associated with a sea surface height (SSH) elevation and is correlated to sea surface wind stress change. By using a Rossby wave model forced by wind stress, which computes the component variati...
