Short summary
With the recent developments in observations and reanalysis data in the Beaufort Gyre, we investigate an improved understanding of eddy activity and asymmetrical halocline variability in the upper ocean. The halocline structures on the southern and northern sides of the central gyre have tended to be identical since 2014. The results suggest that enhanced eddy modulation through eddy fluxes influences oceanic stratification, resulting in reduced meridional asymmetry of the halocline.
