Fig. 16

Schematic representation illustrating the formation of L-CMW, D-CMW, and TRMW at the 41° N-west, 41° N-east, and 37.5° N sections in relation to the fronts and eddies. A, B, and C denote anticyclonic eddies. Note that the locations of fronts and eddies near each hydrographic station are based on the SSH and SST distributions on the date on which the hydrographic observation was made, and can be different from those inferred from Fig. 1
