Figure 6. Zonal (top) and meridional (middle) geostrophic velocities as well as geostrophic current magnitudes (bottom) estimated from AVISO (black lines) and AVISO+TG (red lines) fields at 34.375°N, 120.625°W.

Also shown are zonal (top) and meridional (middle) current velocities as well as current magnitudes (bottom) as measured by the CCE-2 ADCP (34.2°N, 120.7°W) at 17 m depth (blue lines). The mean value for each zonal and meridional time series, for the period presented here, was removed.
