Geostrophic currents in the Antarctic zone of the Indian Ocean
The research ship KAIYO MARU (Jap. Fish. Agency) occupied 36 oceanographic stations between 61°and 65°S and between 110°and 120°E during the period from January 13 to 29,1980. Dynamic topography and corresponding currents were computed with reference to the 1500-decibar surface. Eastward flow is dom...
