Fig. 3: Plots of the time-series measurements of the turbidity current E2 at the mooring site S2.
From: Two distinct types of turbidity currents observed in the Manila Trench, South China Sea
a Pressure perturbation (dbar) measured by CTD at 17 MAB. b Along-trench current velocity (cm s−1) and (c) net acoustic backscatter intensity (counts) (averaged over four beams) recorded by the downward-looking ADCP. d Time-series of turbidity measured by the RBR-TU at 72 MAB. e Along-trench current velocity (cm s−1) at 12 MAB (dark blues line) recorded by the downward-looking ADCP and predicted along-trench tidal current velocity (black line). f Time-series of temperature measured by CTD at 17 MAB. The red dashed lines indicate the beginning and end of the turbidity current.
