Figure 8

Daily zonal geostrophic velocity derived from satellite altimetry (blue) and daily mean zonal velocity at 70 m measured by mooring ADCPs (red) at 15.5°N (a) and 18°N (b). Satellite altimetry data is downloaded from http://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/en/data.html. Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2010b (http://www.mathworks.com/).
