Jet width and number. (a) Diagnosed jet width (Ljet) compared to the diagnosed modified Rhines scale (LRh,diagnose), both normalized by the domain length scale Ldomain. (b) Number of jets (Njet) diagnosed in the simulations compared to the theoretical prediction, nRh/ndomain. Detailed jet diagnostic information is provided in Appendix D. In (a), jets with widths of one-half the domain size in the shallow scenario and one-third the domain size in the deep scenario are excluded, as their widths are constrained by the domain size and are not expected to follow Rhines scaling. The black solid line represents a fitted line. In (b) the black solid line is the one-to-one line, and the black dashed line indicates the adjusted prediction, incorporating the fitted prefactor (2.07) of jet width to Rhines scale from (a). Gray dashed lines represent predictions where the jet scale is constrained by the domain size: Njet = 3 for the deep scenario and Njet = 2 for the shallow scenario. In (a) and (b) regions outside the TC in the deep scenario are excluded.
