Figure 1

The left panel is the initial distribution (colors, arbitrary units) of a tracer, the 50-m isobath is plotted in green in all panels. The middle panel shows the ensemble-mean distribution resulting from 7-day advections of the initial distribution, under the instantaneous velocity for each January in the climatology, plotted over January’s cLCSs (black lines). The right panel is the same as the middle panel except that the ensemble-mean distribution is the result of 14-day advections. The arbitrary colorscale limits are the same in all panels. Created with Matlab R2016B (www.mathworks.com).
