Figure 4

(a) A partition of the AEJ by means of the function M (LD) which indicates different particle origins. Contour lines of the zonal velocity are overlapped; (b) backwards and forwards time evolution of the fluid parcels placed in different domains of the AEJ (red, blue, green) and Gulf of Guinea convective cell (cyan) and the Monsoon flow (orange). Time arrows marking the time direction are placed over the trajectories. A blue line marks the horizontal plane at 0.2 km. Maps in this figure are done with MATLAB R2018b.
