Figure 6

Distribution of CHL concentration (color shaded, units: mg/m3) and SSHAs (contours with 2.5-cm interval) averaged from (a) June 9 to June 11, (b) June 12 to June 17 and (c) June 20 to June 26, covering the measurement periods of WDD-6033 XBT, Argo floats and JPBN CTD. Dashed and solid contours are for the negative and zero-positive SSH anomalies, respectively. The square, triangles and diamonds marked in blue in (a) show the locations of WDD-6033 XBT on June 9, 10 and 11, respectively (the locations pointed to the dates show the first XBT locations on the particular dates). The red stars in (b,c) show the Argo-float locations, pointed to the noted platform numbers that are followed by the dates in the parenthesis. The purple circles show the locations of CTD from June 21 to 24 (the locations with dates at their left sides show the first CTD locations on the particular dates).
