(1) Processing history

(2) Hydrography

Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and O₂ saturation (when present). Vertically interpolated to regular pressure grid • 20 discrete colour levels.

show / hide hydro

(3) T-S diagram

Left: log₁₀(count+1) per T-S bin. Right (when O₂ present): median O₂ saturation per T-S bin — bins with <5 samples masked. Colour scale: BrBG (brown=low, teal=high).

show / hide ts_diagram

(4) Velocity

East, north, and up velocity. QC-flagged samples excluded before interpolation. Shared symmetric Spectral_r colormap for east/north; separate bounds for up. No temporal gap fill — NaN where no data.

show / hide vel_stacked

Velocity IQR profiles. Median (solid line) and interquartile range (shaded, 25–75 %) across the full deployment at each pressure level. 2.5–97.5 % outer envelope for speed. Right panel: count of non-NaN values per depth.

show / hide vel_iqr

Velocity time series at depth of maximum mean speed. Depth chosen as the pressure level with the highest time-mean current speed. Speed, east, and north velocity at that level.

show / hide vel_timeseries

(5) Velocity structure

Current roses. One rose per pressure level (up to 12, evenly subsampled). Suspect/bad QC excluded. Each petal shows the fraction of time current flowed in that direction; petal length encodes speed (m/s).

show / hide roses

Hodograph. Current hodographs at two pressure levels (25th and 75th percentile of the valid range). Top row = shallower level; bottom row = deeper level. Left = Tukey-smoothed raw; right = eddy component (LP mean removed). Colour indicates fractional time through the deployment (lime circle = start, red square = end). QC-bad data excluded.

show / hide hodograph

Particle trajectory. Pseudo-Lagrangian trajectories at each gridded pressure level, integrated from east and north velocity (Euler forward). All start at the origin. Coloured by pressure (dbar).

show / hide trajectory

(6) Stratification

Potential density. 20 discrete colour levels.

show / hide sigma0

Buoyancy frequency squared (N²). log₁₀(N²) in s⁻². Purple = strongly stratified; yellow = weakly stratified. Computed from T and S via GSW.

show / hide n2

(7) Overflow

Isopycnal coverage diagnostic. Percentage of time steps during which each σ₀ surface (0.1 kg/m³ spacing) lies within the measured column range. Green ≥ 80 %; amber 50–80 %; red < 50 %. Orange diamond = current --sig-level target. Dashed line = 80 % threshold. NaN gaps in the tracking figure above correspond to times when the isopycnal is outside the measured range (pycnocline above the shallowest grid level, or below the deepest).

show / hide isopycnal_coverage

Isopycnal height above seabed — sigma0. Height above seabed (m) of each target σ₀ surface through time. Tracked by linear interpolation in density space from the gridded sigma0 field; 1-hour running median applied. NaN where the surface outcrops or is outside the observed range. Light blue = lighter water (shallower); dark blue = denser water (deeper). Targets set by --sig-level (default σ₀ = 27.70).

show / hide isopycnal_ts_sigma0

Temperature ~100 m above seabed. 1-hour running median temperature at the grid pressure level nearest to 100 m above the seabed. Level and height-above-seabed shown in figure title.

show / hide overflow_temp

(8) Frequency analysis

Temperature power spectrum. Left: low-frequency overview — 14-day Hann windows, 50 % overlap. Right: high-frequency zoom — 1-day windows (~14× more windows, smoother tidal/inertial estimate); x-axis in hours. LF markers: M2, 1.8 d, 4 d, f. HF markers: M2 (12.4 h), f (inertial). Dashed black line: −2 spectral slope. Colour encodes pressure (light blue = shallow, dark blue = deep). Window length controllable via hf_segment_days in _make_spectrum_fig_b64.

show / hide temp_spectrum

Temperature wavelet scalogram. Continuous wavelet transform (Morlet, ω₀ = 6; Torrence & Compo 1998). Three depth levels: 2nd from top, middle, 2nd from bottom of the 100-dbar-multiple valid levels. Colour shows log₁₀(power) (°C² d); hatched grey region = cone of influence (edge-affected); hatched cross region = gap-filled data; black contour = 95 % significance against red noise.

show / hide wavelet

Rotary velocity spectrum. CW (clockwise, anticyclonic, solid red lines) and CCW (counter-clockwise, cyclonic, dashed blue lines) power spectra and rotary coefficient r = (CCW−CW)/(CCW+CW). Welch PSD, Hann window, 14-day segments, 50 % overlap. Up to 4 pressure levels (at most 1/5th of valid levels); colour encodes pressure depth. Vertical lines: M2, K1, 1.8 d, 4 d, and inertial period (f). r > 0 = CCW dominant; r < 0 = CW dominant. Physical interpretation (NH): inertial oscillations are inherently CW; for internal waves (f < ω), CW dominance indicates upward energy propagation / downward phase propagation (Leaman & Sanford 1975).
