The time-series between days 110 and 265 during spring and summer 2005 showed some 10-day periods of relatively constant temperature and current speeds. During such periods, |w| |e| near the ADCP (Fig. 2d), not only in low-frequency variations that are negatively biased due to the passage of meso-scale eddies (van Haren et al. 2006), but also in relatively higher frequency variations that reflect near-inertial motions.
