Nitrate fluxes in ROMS simulation. Plain views of 29-h moving average of TNO3 at 100 m depth for (a) Eddy-A, (b) Eddy-B, (c) Eddy-C, with black contours that represent SSH. Along the magenta transect in (a–c), vertical sections of (d–f) TNO3 [mmol N m−2 day−1] and for (g–i) FNO3 [mmol N m−2 day−1], with white/black contours for isopycnals every 0.3 σθ kg m−3 and magenta line for MLD. Position 131° E where the transect turns northeastward is delimited.
