Distributions of a θ, b S, c σθ, and d Q with respect to pressure and e Q with respect to σθ in the 41° N-west (left) and 41° N-east (right) sections. Contour interval is a 1 °C, b 0.1, and c 0.1 kg m−3. Contours are drawn at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 5 × 10–10 m−1 s−1 in d and e. Dots in b represent vertical S minimum at each station. Long (short) ticks on the top of each panel indicate the locations of CTDO2 (XCTD) stations. Arrows (horizontal bars) on the top of each panel in a represent the locations of fronts (Eddies A–C)
