Fig. 2: Sea surface salinity changes due to horizontal advection.
From: Widespread sea surface salinification induced by tropical cyclones over the Changjiang River Plume
a Radar-observed sea surface currents and satellite sea surface salinity on August 5 before the Lekima passage. Sea surface currents within the radar-covered region are represented by shaded colors and black arrows. Sea surface salinity contours are shown by black lines. b–c Same as (a), but for dates of August 9 and 11 during and after the Lekima passage, respectively. Colored-solid lines with dots denote the track of Lekima that has occurred. d Components of daily-mean sea surface currents on the x-axis (u, red line) and the y-axis (v, blue line). e Advection rate of salinity (blue line) and accumulated horizontal advection of salinity (red line). Error bars denote 95% confidence intervals.
