Fig. 5
Spatial distribution of the intensity of front: horizontal distribution (a) and vertical profile (b). The geostrophic flows (vector) and density (grey contour) are also shown. Black line is the jet axis in (a) and the mixed layer depth in (b). The location of the vertical profile is shown by the magenta line in (a)"
Fig. 6
Map (a) and vertical (b) profile of vertical velocity anomaly at 10 m. (a) Black arrows refer to surface currents anomalies. Magenta line indicates the section for the vertical profile, and black line indicates the jet axis. (b) Shading denotes temperature, and black vector represents the cross-front and vertical velocity anomaly. Black line represents mixed layer depth. Grey contour is for density"
Fig. 7
Snapshot of the Ertel PV. (a-c) are the EPV, EPVh and EPVv, respectively. The black line represents the jet axis. Black arrows denote surface currents. (d) is vertical distribution of EPV. The location of the vertical section is shown by the magenta line in (a). Black line represents mixed layer depth"
