Topographic data is from 1 Arc-Minute Global Relief Model (ETOPO1). The inset provides a closer view of the Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench. Red curves with arrows indicate schematic pathways of Lower Circumpolar Deep Water (LCDW) below about 3500 m (based on ref. 6), and the black stars in the inset denote mooring locations named M1–M4 from south to north.
