Fig. 6: Simulated ISOW pathways over 10 years.
From: Redrawing the Iceland−Scotland Overflow Water pathways in the North Atlantic
a Probability distribution (on a log scale) of 10-year simulated particle trajectories after initialization in the Charlie−Gibbs Fracture Zone. Black contours represent the floats’ mean age (see Methods). b Probability distribution of first occurrences at 45°N. Mean isopycnals are contoured in black. c Age of the floats’ first occurrences at 45°N as a function of longitude (see Methods). The mean ages from the western boundary to 40°W (7.1 years) and along the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (35°W−28°W; 5.9 years) are also plotted as red solid lines.
