(a) Salinity and (b) temperature (uC) as functions of time and depth along the float trajectory from October 2004 through
September 2007, derived from experiment PWP2. The model was forced using NCEP heat fluxes, PAL-derived rainfall and wind speed
estimates, and near-surface CTD-derived temperature and salinity measured along the float trajectory. The model was initialized using
the first measured profiles of temperature and salinity from the float and then allowed to run freely. Note the differences between this plot
and the analogous parameters in Fig. 12. (c) The decrease in model salinity between experiment PWP2a and PWP2b vs. time and pressure
(i.e., salinity values from PWP2b minus those from PWP2a). Note the changes in the salinity scale on panel (a) and the depth scale on
panel (c)
