No inter-gyre pathway for sea-surface temperature anomalies in the North Atlantic

It has been proposed that sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies along the Gulf Stream aid regional climate predictions months to years in advance. Here, the authors show that a surface pathway for SST anomalies does not exist, as Gulf Stream waters reach higher latitudes by sub-surface pathways.
