Interpolated maps of vertically integrated observed tracer Ij from (a) Leg 1 at 8 months after injection; and (d) Leg 2 at 12 months after injection. The dashed gray line represents the Anticosti Island-Newfoundland transect, gray x’s represent sampling stations. Swish floats were deployed at the injection site during the injection cruise and in the Laurentian Channel during Leg 1. The float deployment locations are denoted by a violet star in (a) and the black `x' in (d) for the injection cruise and Leg 1, respectively. Float resurfacing locations are marked by translucent white circles, with circle diameter representing float resurfacing time (see reference). Vertical profiles of SF5CF3 concentrations are plotted for from Leg 1 (b) and Leg 2 (c) in z* coordinates with A(z*) and \({A}_{0}{e}^{-{z}^{* }/L}\) hypsographies. Leg 1 and Leg 2 SF5CF3 vs. σθ profiles are plotted in (e) and (f), respectively.
