  1. Sections like JSKM 01 Fig 2, but Ug to 900m:
    Unsmoothed  1° lat boxcar  Mixed  Overlay T  ADCP
    Sections including 143°E and 156°E: Ug  ADCP  ADCP (0-400m)  Overlay isotherms  Mixed
    To 12°N: ADCP
  2. Compare u(ADCP) and Ug(Rel 900m):
    Surface  105m  205m  305m  405m  
  3. Vertically integrated zonal transport  Detail near Equator  Ug between various levels  ADCP within levels  ADCP 150-400m
  4. DH and Integrated Pressure
  5. Compare Ug with XBT Ug (IFREMER tw23482) (Rel 450m):  Surface  100m  200m  
  6. Wyrtki and Kilonsky (1984) section: gif version  pdf version
  7. Deep SEC(N): Ug maps at 0, 300, 600m  6 levels  Sections following the SEC(N)
  8. Measures of SEC(N) transport: Between 1.2°N and 5°N  Between 2°N and 5°N  
  9. Maps of mean shear (du/dy) at various levels: 20m  50m  80m  100m  150m  200m  
  10. Checking extrapolation of velocity gradient: 95°W   110°W   140°W   155°W   165°E   Transport   

  11. Looking at the term vdu/dy:
    These figures are based on a bad estimate of v that is probably garbage (fitting to noise).
    They remain here for historical interest only. Do not take them seriously!
            Meridional sections: v  du/dy  vdu/dy
            Integrated maps: vdu/dy  vdu/dy compared with Tau-x/rho
            More plots of v: Surface  Surface vectors  Zonal mean
            Consider vuy as a forcing term: Tau-x/rho-Int(vuydz  Curl it
  12. Effective Beta: Section of uyy   Beta-uyy sections   (Beta-uyy)/Beta sections   uy-f
