Fig. 7: Eddy azimuthal velocities.
From: Observations of submesoscale eddy-driven heat transport at an ice shelf calving front
a Potential density from glider measurements parallel to the NIS calving front (red lines in Fig. 1b). b Estimated eddy azimuthal velocity (positive clockwise/cyclonic) from the glider data in a. c Potential density from glider measurements perpendicular to the NIS calving front (blue lines in Fig. 1b). d Estimated eddy azimuthal velocity (positive clockwise/cyclonic) from the glider data in c. e Potential density from the ship CTD transect parallel to the NIS calving front (tangent to, not bisecting the eddy). f Measured eddy azimuthal velocity from the ship LADCP, concurrent with the ship CTD in e. LADCP current velocities in Earth-normal components are provided in Fig. S7. Grey lines in a, b, e, and f and light grey polygons in c and d provide the nearby ice draft. Vertical dashed lines in e show the extent of the data (ship CTDs) before interpolation. Black contours show the upper extent of the HSSW. The grey background signifies regions of no data.
