“…The northern ME is found to have a median current per radian of azimuth of
MA rad −1 , while the southern ME has a median current per radian of azimuth of
MA rad −1 . These median values are found using a Monte Carlo bootstrap analysis with lognormal error perturbation (henceforth just “medians”), in order to better account for the measurement errors in the non‐Gaussian distribution of currents (Curran,
2014). Upper and lower errors correspond to the 84th and sixteenth percentiles, respectively, to approximate 1 σ errors.…”
