Water masses in the upper and middle North Atlantic Ocean east of the Azores
13 pages, 12 figures, 1 table During the “ANA” cruise in November 1988, Western North Atlantic Water (WNAW) was found linked to the Azores Current (AC) at 23°W, where according to various authors Eastern North Atlantic Water (ENAW) forms a boundary with WNAW east of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR).
