(a, b) Atmospheric forcing and (c–f) simulated water response. Schematic depiction showing atmospheric forcing for (a) upwelling and (b) downwelling along the eastern Beaufort Sea continental slope. Blue and red arrows indicate geostrophic wind associated with concurrence between atmospheric low and high depicted by blue and red circles, respectively. Yellow and green arrows show circulation with shelfbreak jet over the western and eastern Beaufort Sea, respectively, intensified by local downwelling. (c, d) Simulated cross-slope density distribution at 229°E for the end of (c) upwelling #9U and (d) downwelling #10D. Triangles on the top identify mooring position. (e, f) Difference in Pacific water tracers (m) from beginning to end of (e) upwelling #9U and (f) downwelling #10D highlights (e) westward and (f) eastward Pacific water transport.
