A Short Surface Pathway of the Subsurface Indonesian Throughflow Water from the Java Coast Associated with Upwelling, Ekman Transport, and Subduction
Figure 2
(a) Upwelling of Tracer-3 (initially given from 164.8 m to 224.1 m) and its concentration in surface are shown after four years of integration. The contour (shade) shows the surface (thermocline) concentration. Mean Ekman transport from August to October is shown as vectors. (b) The vertical section of Tracer-3 in time at a point 85°E, 25°S (marked as closed circle in (a)). The inset of (b) shows the time series of Tracer-3 along Java coast. The upwelling center migrates westward at a speed of 0.2 m/s.
