a Zonal mean velocity from mooring observations. Superimposed are the 21 RAFOS floats’ positions while crossing through/nearby the section. Triangles show release locations for nine floats in the northern valley and circles show locations of the remaining 12 floats while passing through/nearby the section. Marker color indicates the pathway each float took: blue for west-northwestward pathway; purple for southward pathway; and orange for eastward pathway. b Mean salinity from the same source. On both plots, dashed black contours show isopycnals.
