From: Formation of Central Mode Water based on two zonal hydrographic sections in spring 2013 and 2016
Distributions of a eastward and b northward ADCP velocity and c absolute geostrophic velocity normal to the section (positive north-northeastward) in the 41° N-west (left) and 41° N-east (right) sections. Contour interval is 10 cm s−1. N, S, E, and W in a and b denote northward, southward, eastward, and westward flow, respectively. 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)
