Figure 4: Pathway of shelf-break eddies.

Potential temperature (°C) (colour bar) and ocean horizontal velocity at a 100 m depth on August 15 in the 2010 M case. The unit vector is 50 cm s−1 and vectors of velocity less than 5 cm s−1 are hidden. Blue (red) crosses indicate the locations of cold (warm) eddy centres in each month (for example, ‘6’ denotes 15 June, ‘7’ denotes 15 July and so on). Yellow crosses are those on August 15, which is the same date as temperature and velocity plots. A green cross in the Barrow Canyon is referred in Supplementary Fig. 5. Purple contours show water depths of 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 m.
