Figure 3

Distributions of vertically-integrated detritus in the top 200 m on day 70 in (a) the warm eddy and (b) the cold eddy; and time-depth distributions of detritus anomaly (calculated by subtracting the initial detritus distribution) in (c) the warm eddy and (d) the cold eddy in the idealized experiments. Black contour lines in (a) and (b) mark the eddy boundaries. Figure was created using MATLAB R2011b (http://www.mathworks.com/).
