A Short Surface Pathway of the Subsurface Indonesian Throughflow Water from the Java Coast Associated with Upwelling, Ekman Transport, and Subduction
Figure 1
Backward (color line) and forward (“+” symbol) particle trajectories initialized at 20 m are shown in the (a) plan view and (b) the vertical section. Different color key is used for the forward and backward trajectories. The black solid contours in (a) represent the concentrations of Tracer-3 on the model surface level after two years of integration (units are in concentration per m−3). The shaded area represents the seasonal march of Zero Wind Stress Curl (ZWSC) line with its extreme southern position for January and the extreme northern position for August.
