From: The vertical structure of annual wave energy flux in the tropical Indian Ocean
Zonal-vertical sections at the equator (left) and at 3° N (right) from “Year 20” of our climatological model experiments: a, b mid-February, c, d mid-May, e, f mid-August, and g, h mid-November. The zonal component of the energy flux (color shaded in units of W/m2), the vertical component of the energy flux (solid contours for positive values, dotted contours for negative values; with an interval of 4 ×10−4 W/m2) and the energy flux vector (arrows in units of W/m2) estimated from the depth-dependent version of the Aiki, Greatbatch, and Claus Level-2 scheme, as given by (7b). When under 3 W/m2, the magnitude of energy flux is indicated either by arrow length or, for greater values, by heavy arrows of uniform length
