Figure 15 . Cross-slope volume/heat transport. Meridional eddy transports for ASW and CDW (averaged in 1° bin over the 1,000–3,000 m isobaths) are zonally integrated. Standard errors due to the cross-slope variation are shown by shade. Volume transport can precisely be translated to heat flux using the mean temperature of CDW and ASW as indicated by ticks to the left. The 90°E meridian for CDW corresponds to the interbasin boundary between eastern/western Indian sectors, while 130°E is the transitional longitude for the ASW transport direction.
