From: Effects of mesoscale eddies on intraseasonal variability of intermediate water east of Taiwan
The surface geostrophic currents and a schematic diagram of the water mass distribution around the eastern Taiwan. (a) Isobaths (in meters) from data according to the ETOPO1 Global Relief Model (color shading) and average surface geotropic currents between Jan 2016 and May 2017 from AVISO data (vectors). For analysis of properties of IW in this study, the average characteristics of the water masses in two typical regions were selected to represent North Pacific Intermediate Water (in the red A1 box) and South China Sea Intermediate Water (in the green A2 box). The map at the lower right corner of (a) shows the zoomed-in topography east of Taiwan. (b) Schematic diagram of the water mass distribution and circulation east of Taiwan. The mooring system was deployed from Jan 2016 to May 2017. The topographic data from following website: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/etopo1sources.html. Figures were plotted using MATLAB R2016b (http://www.mathworks.com/).
