Figure 17. The individual temperature equation terms for the SADLER experiment at (0°, 160°W). The convention is that local temperature change = all other terms, so,for example, the zonal advection tendency is -u*dt/dtx. Only warming and cooling tendencies greater than 2°C mo are contoured, to emphasize the major change periods. Positive (negative) values correspond to warming (cooling) tendencies. Contour interval is 2°C mo. (a) Zonal velocity at (0°, 160°W) from the B32 experiment, (b) temperature at (0°, 160°W) from the B32 experiment. The contour intervals are 5 cm s and 2°C.

Figure 19. The individual zonal momentum equation terms at (0°, 160°W) for the SADLER experiment. (a) local zonal acceleration, (b) zonal advection, (c) vertical advection, (d) meridional advection, (e) surface zonal pressure gradient, (f) total zonal pressure gradient, (g) horizontal diffusion, and (h) vertical diffusion. The total pressure gradient term (f) is the sum of the baroclinic pressure gradient term (not shown) and the surface pressure gradient term (e) (see text); the vertical diffusion term includes the wind stress. The zonal momentum balance is (a) = (b) + (c) + (d) + (f) + (g) + (h).

Figure 19 (Continued). The contour interval is 20 cm s/mo for accelerations below 100 cm s/mo and 100 cm s/mo for accelerations above 100 cm s/mo. The zero contour line is not shown. Dark shading is westward acceleration greater than 100 cm s/mo, light shading is eastward acceleration greater than 100 cm s/mo.
