The
daily snapshots of the ASUKA velocity section reveal the velocity
structures of the meanders as they develop, persist and decay. The
largest meanders begin near days 110, 400, and 500.
Daily velocity sections between November of 1993 and May of 1995.
Zero velocity is contoured as black lines. Additional contours (black
lines) are drawn at a 0.5 m/s interval. Black areas indicate topography.
The horizontal axis is distance from Cape Ashizuri along the ASUKA line.
Each field was made by linear
interpolation and extrapolation from seven or eight calculated velocity
profiles. The white bar denotes the time of each section.
