Extended Data Fig. 2: Kinetic energy and the in-flow velocity \({{\boldsymbol{u}}}_{{\boldsymbol{i}}{\boldsymbol{n}}}{\bf{\tan }}{\boldsymbol{\alpha }}\) versus time.

Extended Data Fig. 2

(a) Kinetic energy, (\(\frac{1}{2}({u}^{2}+{v}^{2})\) where u and v are the zonal and meridional velocities respectively), low-pass filtered at a period of 48 hours, averaged over the bottom 100 m from the MP2, MAVS1, TCHAIN and MAVS2 moorings (coloured lines) and the barotropic tides estimated using TPXO. The grey shaded region shows the period covered by the dye experiment. (b) Depth average of the in-flow velocity (\({u}_{in}\tan \alpha \)) over the bottom 100 m from the four moorings, also low-pass filtered at a period of 48 hours.
