Hovmöller diagrams of SSH (cm) at the latitude of station K2 (47 ∘ N) due to the a first (n=1), b second (n=2), c third (n=3), and d fourth (n=4) baroclinic Rossby wave modes forced by the wind stress. Arrows indicate El Niño-related SSH depressions shown in Fig. 14 b. Meshing denotes Ekman vertical velocity anomaly from the mean value at each longitude smaller than − 0.2×10−6m s−1. The vertical dashed lines indicate the longitude of station K2 (160 ∘ E)
