Short summary
A wind-driven, spatially coherent mode of nonseasonal depth-independent variability in the Canadian inland seas is identified based on observational measurements and a numerical model over 2003--2013. This dominant mode of nonseasonal variability is partly related to the North Atlantic Oscillation. The mode is associated with net flows into and out of the Canadian inland seas as well as internal mass redistribution within the Canadian inland seas.
