Maps of the Froude number

For each flight, the Froude number was calculated from the profiles flown during the survey. The components of the Froude number (Speed layer depth, and temperature jump across the inv) as well as the Froude number itself were mapped. Note how the local sub or supercriticality of the flow changed from day to day.

In the maps listed below, the location of the profile is shown as a red dot. Fr = 1 is the dark contour. The field is not plotted far away from the data points. A map showing the whole region is here.
