Figure 3: ROMS ocean simulation results at the glider location.
From: Stratified coastal ocean interactions with tropical cyclones
ROMS ocean simulation results at the glider location during the storm period, with first vertical black dashed line indicating initiation of the coastal baroclinic response and second vertical black dashed line indicating eye passage. (a) Temperature with top (black) and bottom (magenta) of thermocline as in Fig. 2b. (b) Cross-shelf velocity (red/yellow onshore; blue offshore). (c) Eddy viscosity. (d) Along-shelf velocity (red/yellow northward; blue southward). (e) Log10(Richardson number) with black contour indicating Richardson number of 0.25. (f) Vertical diffusion temperature diagnostic equation term, showing warming (positive, red/yellow) and cooling (negative, dark blue). (g) Dominant depth-averaged cross-shelf momentum balance terms (positive onshore and negative offshore) from wind stress (wstress, magenta), Coriolis force (coriolis, red), pressure gradient (press, cyan) and bottom stress (bstress, blue). (h) Same as g but for along-shelf momentum balance terms (positive northward, negative southward).
