The trajectories in exp2_t between day 3100 and 3200 are quasi similar to those between day 2000 and 2100 (Fig. 1), besides the low-frequency (but small) evolution of the potential vorticity (PV).
Figure 1: Trajectories of six parcels during 100 days: from day 2000 to 2100 (black) and from day 3100 to 3200 (red).
The PV tests are also similar qualitatively and quantitatively for the two periods.
