Tows sorted by type of anomaly

Off-axis features! (neutral buoyancy plumes? baroclinic vortices?)

2t08 | 2t09 | 2t10

Near-bottom features (diffuse flow?)

1t06 | 1t07 | 1t08 | 1t13 | 2t19??

Plume cores

See tows associated with known or suspected field locations

Image shown at right is a surface of potential temperature anomalies detected within 50 meters of the (SEABEAM) sea floor during _any_ Mixing Zephyr CTDT cast. The near-bottom anomaly data from all tows has been blockmean-ed and surfaced in GMT, using a 10 second block size. A map of all temperature anomalies within 100 meters of the bottom is also available, as are corresponding plots of light transmission (raw data) values: less than 50 meters off bottom, and less than 100 meters off bottom.
