Page 87: Figure 5.6a.Maps of maximum inertial energy (m2 s-2) in the depth range 0 > z >–200 m (upper panel) and –200 > z >–1000 m (middle panel) after Hurricane Katrina on September 5, 2005 at 12:00 GMT. The hurricane’s track is shown in red and marked daily at the center of an “intensity circle” whose radius is proportional to the maximum sustained wind speed on that day. White contours indicate the 200, 2000, 3000 and 3500 m isobaths. The LSU mooring is marked with a “+.” This model simulation has neither Loop Current nor rings.

Page 88: Figure 5.6b. Maps of maximum inertial energy (m2 s-2) in the depth range 0 > z >–200 m (upper panel) and –200 > z >–1000 m (middle panel) after Hurricane Katrina on September 5, 2005 at 12:00 GMT. The hurricane’s track is shown in red and marked daily at the center of an “intensity circle” whose radius is proportional to the maximum sustained wind speed on that day. Dark contours are SSH (m) indicating the positions of the Loop and the ring. White contours indicate the 200, 2000, 3000 and 3500 m isobaths. The LSU mooring is marked with a “+.” Inset shows time-depth contours of the speed (red = 1m/s; green=0 m/s) measured at NDBC42872 shown. This shows propagating near-inertial waves propagating downward days after the passage of Hurricane Katrina.

Maps of maximum inertial energy (m2 s-2) in the depth range 0 > z >–200 m (upper panel) and –200 > z >–1000 m (middle panel) after Hurricane Katrina on September 285, 2005 at 0012:00 GMT. The hurricane’s track is shown in red and marked daily at the center of an “intensity circle” whose radius is proportional to the maximum sustained wind speed on that day. Dark contours are SSH (m) indicating the positions of the Loop and the ring. White contours indicate the 200, 2000, 3000 and 3500 m isobaths. The LSU mooring is marked with a “+.” Inset shows time-depth contours of the speed (red = 1m/s; green=0 m/s) measured at NDBC42872 shown.

Page 113: Figure 7.5c. Color image of the forecast OHC on October 20, 2005 at 12:00 GMT during Hurricane Wilma without the Yucatan-Loop Current frontal system. Maximum OHC is printed on the top-left corner of the panel. Thick-white contour indicates OHC=110 kJ/cm2. Forecast currents at z = –1 m are shown as black trajectories (with arrows) launched from every other four grid points. Maximum speeds (in Yucatan Channel) at z=–1m and –60m are also printed. The large asterisk indicates the position of Wilma at this forecast date.

Page 114: Figure 7.5d. Color image of the forecast OHC on October 23, 2005, at 6:00 GMT during Hurricane Wilma without the Yucatan-Loop Current frontal system. Maximum OHC is printed on the top-left corner of the panel. Thick-white contour indicates OHC=110 kJ/cm2. Forecast currents at z = –1 m are shown as black trajectories (with arrows) launched from every other four grid points. Maximum speeds (in Yucatan Channel) at z=–1m and –60m are also printed. The large asterisk indicates the position of Wilma at this forecast date.

Page 119: Figure 7.7b. Color image of the temperature-difference at z = –50 m on October 23 at 06:00 GMT between experiments with and without Hurricane Wilma for the control initially-level isopycnal experiments. at z = –50 m on October 23 at 06:00 GMT. This shows the spread of warm water north of the Yucatan Channel from the Caribbean Sea into the Gulf of Mexico, though cooling along Wilma’s path in the Caribbean Sea still exists. The path of Wilma is shown colored with its corresponding maximum sustained wind speeds (color-scale at bottom). Numbers next to small asterisks indicate days in October, 2005, and Wilma’s position on October 23 at 06:00 GMT is marked. In contrast to Figure 7.7a, this now shows the spread of warm water north of the Yucatan Channel from the Caribbean Sea into the Gulf of Mexico, though cooling along Wilma’s path in the Caribbean Sea still exists.

Contours indicate total current speeds (black), sea-surface height = 0.1 m contour indicating the Loop Current and rings (red), isobaths (blue) and storm- tracks with wind speed (grey scale).
