Fig. 2. Representative kinematic profiles of individual prolate medusae. All graphs in the left-hand column refer to Aglantha digitale (2.03 cm height, 0.83 cm diameter), in the middle column to Sarsia sp. (0.91 cm height, 0.85 cm diameter) and in the right-hand column to Proboscidactyla flavicirrata (0.40 cm height, 0.56 cm diameter). Note the differences in the x and y axes. Re, Reynolds number; F_i, instantaneous fineness ratio.
