Figure 3
Lag-correlations between current velocities and SSC during the period when the eddies passing through the mooring site.
(a) Lag-correlations between surface geostrophic velocities and current velocities observed at 617 m (black curves) and near-bottom (brown curves). (b) Lag-correlations between the SSC observed near bottom (at 2069 m) and velocities of sea surface (black curves) and near bottom (at 2069 m, brown curves). Solid curves represent along-slope velocities (u) and dashed curves represent cross-slope velocities (v); the maximal correlation coefficients are marked with black dots.
