(a,b) Surface geostrophic velocity (AVISO31) (black) and residual currents at mooring No 1,2,3 (a), 34–36 (at the same sites) and 37 (b) shown in colours (3-daily averaged, layer 15–20 mab) for two deployment phases. The curved arrows indicate current veering during passage of eddies I-V. (c), Rotary spectral density estimates of seabed currents at mooring site 2 are shown with lines

for the surface currents. Lomb-Scargle62,63 rotary spectra were calculated with unevenly sampled (1 and ¾ hours) data over the period 2013.04.11–2015.06.02. Confidence Intervals (CI = 95%) are included. Integration intervals over long-term, mesoscale, inertial, and tidal + high frequency internal wave’s bands and their contribution (%) in total spectra are shown with lines 7.
