Description
Summary:In support of International Ice Patrol, four cruises were conducted of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and the Labrador Sea during 1970 to study ocean currents that affect the drift of icebergs. The dynamic topography of the Labrador Current and its environs showed significant departure from normal, but there was general agreement between the dynamic topographies relative to the 1000 and 3000 decibar surfaces. STD data from analog traces were compared with those from a Digital Data Logger; significant differences were found. (Modified author abstracts) See also PB-210 179.
