Description:
Hydrographic data collected during R/V Endeavor cruise 143 is
presented as a preliminary study of subduction in the northeast
Atlantic south of the Azores Front. The front is clearly defined at
the northern end of CTD section #1 which also shows a layer of
16-18°C water subducted to the south. Section #2, 280 km to the
east, is dominated by a large cyclonic ring with characteristics
similar to 'eastern' rings reported earlier . An anomalously salty
parcel of Mediterranean water in this section is typical of highly
saline lenses seen in the Canary Basin.
