a Pathways of all simulated rays within 10-day backward integration. The location of station 2 is denoted by the red pentagram. b Three dimensional trajectories of the 10 fastest rays. Gray plane indicates the 50 m isobath. c Rotary spectrum of the near-inertial motions isolated from ADCP data at station 4 averaged within the first two inertial periods after Rammasun. The unit nm represents normalized meters, sm denotes stretched meters, and c.p.sm denotes cycles per stretched meter36. Blue line is for clockwise (CW) rotating component and red line is for counterclockwise (CCW) rotating component. Colored shadings represent 95% confidence intervals computed using bootstrap method. d Same as c but at station 2.
