Abstract

Highlights:
•A joint analysis of deep current meter records in the western North Atlantic.
•Intra-seasonal variability dominates the deep boundary current.
•Topographic waves near 10 d periods trapped over steep topography.
•Basin centers are showing longer periods (50 d) caused by the eddy field.
•Observed variability characteristics compared to high resolution model simulation.
