Extended Data Figure 9: Sub-basin profiles of incrop area.
From: Abyssal ocean overturning shaped by seafloor distribution
Total incrop area as a function of density (a–c) and pseudo-depth at 32° S (d–f), shown for labelled subdomains of the Pacific (a, d), Atlantic (b, e) and Indian (c, f) oceans. The abyssal Arabian and central Indian sub-basins exchange with the Southern Ocean via the western and eastern Indian oceans, respectively. We therefore use the 32° S pseudo-depth of the western and eastern Indian oceans for the (orange) Arabian and (pale blue) central Indian profiles in f, respectively. Sub-basin masks are shown in Extended Data Fig. 1b.
