Fig. 3: Remotely sensed sea surface temperature near the middle of the cruise. The black lines mark a cross-streamer section and the first repeat of the intensive survey. Note the prominent (cold) streamer found along the eastern edge of the plume and the start of an instability under the survey pattern.
