33.—A Review of the Branching of the Gulf Stream System
Synopsis The surveys of temperature and salinity that have led to the concept that the Gulf Stream splits into branches are reviewed, beginning with the survey made by Helland-Hansen on board the Michael Sars in 1910. The system of currents, or branches, between the Newfoundland Banks and the Mid- A...
