Fig 8. Seasonal variability of sulphur plumes in relation to remote forcing.
Seasonal climatology of sulphur plume size and intensity, of AGCW fraction, of CARS oxygen concentration in the bottom water layer (A) and of sea level anomaly between 18°S and 19°S within the 1° width coastal band (B). The yellow and red curves correspond to the monthly size and intensity of sulphur plumes, respectively. The turquoise and green curves represent the AGCW fractions for the depths of 63 m and 93 m, respectively. The pink curve stands for the oxygen concentration. Box-Whisker plots with monthly minimum, maximum, median, 25th and 75th percentiles can be calculated only for the SLA product. The calculation is not performed for AGCW fraction and oxygen concentration because not the full data sets are available. The blue curves represent the median values.
