Short summary
In the context of the OUTPACE cruise and THOT project in the western South Pacific Ocean, we use individual float trajectories in order to understand the intermediate-flow dynamics, from 300 to 1000 m depth. We highlight two main features: exchanges of water between parallel jets entering the Coral Sea through eddies and intermediate-wave influence of the currents in the frontal area connecting the Antarctic intermediate water (AAIW) and North Pacific deep water (NPDW) masses.
