Comparisons of eddy stirring- and trapping-induced meridional heat flux (i.e. S-EHF and T-EHF).

Caption

(a) Global distribution of S-EHF with positive and negative values denoting northward and southward directions, respectively. Black lines represent mean SST contours at 5°C intervals and the 23°C contour is highlighted using thick line. The subtropical frontal regions in North and South Pacific and South Indian Oceans are marked using black boxes. (b) Same with (a) but for the T-EHF.
