Extended Data Fig. 6: Mean seasonal cycle of different mixing parameters at the equator at 23° W.
From: Seasonal productivity of the equatorial Atlantic shaped by distinct wind-driven processes
Shown are squared Brunt-Väisälä frequency, \({N}^{2}\) (a), squared shear, \({{Sh}}^{2}\) (b), and Richardson Number, \({Ri}\) (c). Upper solid black line marks the mixed layer depth, the lower solid black line the 20 °C isotherm depth, \({D}_{20^\circ C}\), as a proxy of the nitracline, and the dashed line the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) core depth, \({D}_{{EUC}}\). Also shown in (c) is the \({Ri}=0.25\) contour (red line).
