Excerpt from Oceanography of the Grand Banks Region and the Labrador Sea: April June, August, and October, 1969
The average surface circulation south and east of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland dur ing April and May can be inferred from charts of the mean monthly dynamic topography of the sea surface relative to the -decibarsurface prepared by Soule, 1964 (figs. 1 and These charts are based on 22 years of data with equal weight being given to each year represented. Broken-line contours have been used in areas where the data base is 6 years or less. The charts show the Labrador Current flowing south between the 100 fathom and fathom contours on the eastern slope of the Grand Banks. To the east of the Labrador Current is a dynamic trough consisting of water of low specific volume resulting from the mixing of Labrador Current water and North Atlantic Current water. The Labrador Current flows south on the western side of the dynamic trough and the North Atlantic Current flows north on the eastern side of the trough. A pair of meanders present at about 41°n, 50°w and 43°n, 46°w are part of the North Atlantic Current.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents oceanographic surveys from American research expeditions conducted aboard US Coast Guard vessels, supplementing existing knowledge of ocean currents, temperatures, and salinities around the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and the Labrador Sea during the spring of 1969. Building upon the work of many previous research cruises, the author examines the physical oceanography of these regions, focusing in particular on dynamic topography, the time variation of the Labrador Current, and interpreting these in the context of seasonal fluctuations and broader, longer-term changes in oceanic circulation. The data and interpretations in this book will serve as valuable reference points for ongoing and future investigations of the Northwest Atlantic, a dynamic and complex region with global implications for weather and climate, movement of sea ice, and the distribution of marine life.
