Figure 9. Idealized simulation with three warm core rings injected every 360 days. (a) 8-year mean sea surface height (SSH); thick blue line denotes the zero contour; (b) mean ASPG along the 50 m isobath with linear-regression fit over the MAB (c.f. figure 2a); (c) 60-day low pass of ASPG variations (black line; mean removed).
