What I notice is an area of much warmer than normal water in Baffin Bay

My point earlier is that it is HIGLY likely that that "anomaly" doesn't even exist at all.

FNMOC Otis is an algorithm using satellite data, and it can be "screwy." One area where it's often "screwy" is in high-latitude areas near ice packs.

Hope so, but that is a rather large area.
