From: Response of Near-Inertial Shear to Wind Stress Curl and Sea Level

Figure 1

Mean velocity and squared shear from observation, and squared buoyancy frequency from EN4.1 during the mooring measurement period. (a) Topography of the western Pacific Ocean with the mooring location (pink star) at the center. Vertical profiles of mean (thick lines) and standard deviation (shaded areas) of (b) zonal (blue, U) and meridional (orange, V) velocities, (c) squared shear (S2), and (d) square buoyancy frequency (N2). In (d), N2 is calculated from EN4.1 monthly temperature and salinity. Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2015b (http://www.mathworks.com/).
