Figure 7
Ocean vertical structures observed from different instruments passing through the bloom region in summer 2010. (a∼f) Buoyancy frequencies (colors) and potential density (contours, sigma-theta in kg/m3) obtained from Argo buoys with the platform numbers of 5901538, 5901420, 5901539, 5901596, 5901419 and 2900509 from June to July (“In” and “Out” in the parenthesis noted after the platform numbers indicate the Argo buoys inside and outside the bloom region, respectively). (g) In-situ ocean temperature profiles observed by XBT on the WDD6033 platform executed from east to west during June 9 to 11. (h) Potential density (sigma-theta in kg/m3) obtained from CTD on the JPBN platform executed from north to south during June 20 to 26 (colors and black contours). The white contour shows the climatology sigma-theta 22.8-kg/m3.
