a Fields averaged over the periods with westward transport (shown in Fig. 3). b As in a, but over the peirods with eastward transports. Black dots stand for the observational positions on mooring stations, black lines represent the isolines of velocity gray lines show isotherms. The positive (negative) velocity represents the eastward (westward) flow, and the gray region shows the bottom topography. Source data are provided with this paper.
