Figure 3

Hawaiian eddy Noah. (a), (b) compares horizontal sections of this eddy velocity field, obtained with the streamlets ((a), pink vectors) and from the pure interpolation (b); (c) shows the vertical velocity cross-section, and (d) pictures the vertical velocity shear derived by optimal interpolation (d) left and using streamlets (d) right.
