 | After 1977 the pycnocline deepened in a broad band along the coast and shoaled in the central part of the Gulf of Alaska. |
| The changes in pycnocline depth diagnosed from the model are in agreement with the pycnocline depth changes observed at two ocean stations in different areas of the Gulf of Alaska. |
| Coastal propaga-tion of pycnocline depth anomalies is especially relevant in the western part of the Gulf of Alaska, where local Ekman pumping-induced changes are anticorrelated with the OGCM pycnocline depth variations. |
