•  Rossby wave driver
Streamfunction and vorticity fields at 100m in the large domain. Interior subdomain is indicated by the white box.

•  Nutrient fields in the interior subdomain
Streamfunction at 100m, together with vertical velocity, nitrate and nutrient uptake (all at 85m). Temperature at 85m is overlayed as solid contours.
