Winter
(February 15) zonal current
velocity
along the Equator to a depth
of
500m. The thick line is the mixed
layer
base.
These
cross-sections illustrate the
Zonal
structure of the Equatorial
Undercurrent
and the westward
flow
above.
HYCOM
simulations performed
using
hybrid vertical coordinates
produce
a stronger undercurrent than
HYCOM
run in MICOM mode.
