(a) A view of the representation of function M in the latitude-altitude plane at longitude 10° W. Contour lines of the zonal velocity are overlapped. The TEJ is recognized at latitude \(\sim\)8° N and altitude \(\sim\) 10 km. The red rectagle highlights the region zoomed in panel (b); (b) a zoom highlighting the lower part of TEJ where the function M has a particularly rich structure; (c) backwards and forwards time evolution of the fluid parcels placed in different sectors of the TEJ; (d) backwards and forwards time evolution of the fluid parcels placed in folds displayed in panel (b) and in a selected sharp region of panel (a). Maps in this figure are done with MATLAB R2018b.
