Bill, 

Answers to your questions:

(a) Units of velocity - m/s (i.e. max and min of +- 4cm/s)

(b) Density values: The contour spacing is 
0.0011 kg/m^3

If you are interested, please see the recently 
submitted manuscript at 
http://charybdis.whoi.edu/sonya/Concave.pdf 

This includes similar figures (but with different 
advection scheme and less explicit diffusion)
and also compares hydrostatic and nonhydrostatic
simulations.
