Lateral Induction and Zonal Geostrophic Velocity at Maximum Winter MLD

Mean Annual Cycle
Conclusions• Zonal geostrophic velocity at maximum winter mixed
layer depth corresponds to lateral induction and subduction.
• Zonal geostrophic velocity at maximum winter mixed layer depth and the areas of SPTW both have a three-year cycle.
• SEC and the areas of SPTW both have several months lag with SOI.
• SEC contributes to the areas of SPTW.
