Time series of (a) temperature, (b) current velocity, and (c) basal melt flux index (bar: hourly mean, line with dots: daily mean) at nominal depth of 300 dbar at Sta.P2 (almost the same position as Sta.A3, yellow star in Fig. 1a) from late January to August in 1990. Two inverted triangles on the upper axis of panel a denote the date of CTD observations at Sta.P2 (red: April 1990 and blue: August 1990) shown in d. d Vertical profiles of temperature obtained in April, August, and October 1990, January 1991, January 1992 at Sta.P2 (JARE 31st and JARE 32nd, color), and January 2017 at Sta.A3 (JARE 58th, black). For emphasis, T = −1.5 oC, defined as the lower boundary of Winter Water layer19, is denoted by vertical thick line.
