Fig. 5. Mean volume transport below the 1000m reference depth in the YC and derived residence times in the deep GoM.

Fig. 5.

- Volume transport estimates are based on the 4-year observed current means (A) or based on the mean distribution matching the transport between YC and FS (B). In green is the contribution toward the Caribbean Sea, in red is the contribution into the GoM, and in black is the total transport. Residence time versus isopycnals (C) or depth (D) for the two mean current profiles obtained in YC by Candela et al. (27). The green line corresponds to the volume transport based on direct mean current measurements with more than 1 year of observations in YC (A), and the black line represents estimates derived from matching the volume transport in YS and FS (B).
