Figure 8: Vertically integrated concentration of numerical tracer overlain over model topography and vertical profile of the averaged horizontal velocity.

From: Topographic enhancement of vertical turbulent mixing in the Southern Ocean

Figure 8

(a) Vertically integrated tracer mapped onto bottom topography. The map is normalized by the maximum vertically integrated concentration in the domain. The plot is made for day 150 day into the simulation, same as Figs 6 and 7. (b) Domain-averaged velocity as a function of height above bottom. It was verified that the average does not change significantly when restricted to the volume occupied by the tracer.
