The WOCE snapshot can be expected to be blurred in the near-surface layers and for the intermediate layers to carry the most reliable and accessible signal of decade-to-decade variability. This chapter focuses on these intermediate layers. It also focuses on the long-term variability of the convectively formed mode waters of the North Atlantic and on the changes in transport of the Gulf Stream Kuroshio and their eastward extensions. The interdecadal temperature variability of the Atlantic Ocean at intermediate depths shows elements of coherent long-term change over a broad band of latitudes from 32°S to 36°N. In the North Atlantic between the 1950s and 1980s, the warming's are mostly because of downward displacements of isopcynal (neutral) surfaces, while changes on isopycnal surfaces dominate all but the most recent of the South Atlantic signals. Convective sites are important in carrying the signal of climate change to intermediate and greater depths.
