  1. The results of the four different estimates of the diapycnal upwelling rate (wdye); a linear regression of the centre of mass weighted by the standard deviation of the dye-weighted average, an unweighted linear regression to the centre of mass, an average over all estimates of the diapycnal velocity between each pair of transects, and the change in depth of the centre of mass between the first and last observations of the dye.
