Figure 1. (a) Map of the region with land in black and bathymetry shaded at 500 m intervals. Moorings used to estimate the AC transport are given by the red open circles, WB2 and WB3 at 76.75W and 76.5W, respectively, and 26.5N. Additional moorings used are between WB2 and the Bahamas and are indistinguishable at this scale. The SSH anomaly time series at 76.67W and 26.5N are between the centers of the two visible white dots. The FC cable position is given by the red line between Florida and the Bahamas islands. (b) Florida Current (thick blue) and Antilles Current transport anomalies (thin black) for the period April 2004 to April 2011, with amplitudes on the left y axis. Also plotted are SSH anomalies at 26.57N, 76.67W, with the seasonal cycle removed (yellow). The roughly 2month period from September to October 2004 is shaded in grey indicating a gap in the FC cable data. The box (black, dashed) shows the period where the FC and AC are correlated.
