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

Figure 5

Scenario 1: Evaluating responses of near-inertial downward shear to increasing wind stress curls (from left to right). Time series of SLA (1st row), original wind stress (blue) and its curl (purple, 2nd row), and near-inertial downward shear profiles (4th row) during (from left to right) Cases 10, 2, 7, 11, and 30. For the 3rd row, horizontal fields of wind stress (vectors) and its curl (color shading) on the forcing start day are shown (denoted by black lines in the other three rows), and the green dots denote the mooring location. In Case 30, the curl in 2nd row is scaled by a factor of 5 to fit on the same axes. Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2015b (http://www.mathworks.com/).
