spinup of the geostrophic circulation by more than 20% at 1000 dbar. The Argo-minus-WOCE differences ( Figs. 3c and 3f ) are noisy because mesoscale variability affects the mapping of both datasets, especially the more sparsely sampled WOCE data. Maps of Argo-minus-WOCE temperature change ( Fig. 4 ) further illustrate the depth structure of the spinup signal and its intensity in terms of temperature anomaly. Large-scale temperature anomalies near the gyre center are greater than 0.25°C at 1000 dbar
