Mean northward velocity from the gridded current meter data shoreward of WB3. The red dots and lines
(for ADCPs) show the measurement locations. The bold dashed line shows the topography mask used to simulate the
deep shielded zone inside of mooring WB2 during the latter part of the moored transport calculation (after mid-
December, 2004). Velocity contours: cm s-1 (from Johns et al., 2008).
Time series of the transport-per-unit-depth profile (105 m2s-1) for the region extending from the
coast to mooring WB3; the contour interval is decreased in the lower panel to better illustrate the deep
variability. A notable reversal in the deep flow occurs during November 2004 (from Johns et al., 2008).
Internal (red), external (blue), Ekman (green), Gulf Stream (Florida Straits, magenta) and western boundary wedge (orange) transport fluctuations. There is a two month gap in the Gulf Stream time series (04/09 - 28/10/2004). All time series have been two-day low-pass filtered and interpolated on a half-daily grid (from Kanzow et al., 2007).
Variance conserving spectrum of transports. The red, blue, black and cyan lines denote internal (Tint), external (Text), Tint + Text + Twbw and the sum of all components (Tint + Text + Twbw + Tgs + Tek), respectively. For the computation of the cyan line, the two month gap in Tgs has been filled by a linear interpolation (04/09 - 28/10/2004). From Kanzow et al. (2007).
Year-long time series of layer transports for the upper ocean (0 to 800 m depth, red), intermediate water (800 to 1100 m, green), upper North Atlantic Deep Water (1100 to 3000 m, light blue) and lower North Atlantic Deep Water (below 3000 m, dark blue). Negative transports correspond to southward flow (from Cunningham et al., 2007).
Daily time series of Florida Straits transport (blue), Ekman transport (black), interior geostrophic transport (0-1100 m, magenta) and overturning transport above 1100 m (red) for the period 29 March 2004 to 31 March 2005. Overturning transport is the sum of the Florida Straits, Ekman and interior geostrophic transport (from Cunningham et al., 2007).
