VARIATIONS IN THE VERTICAL WATER STRUCTURE AT OWS DELTA (44 DEGREES N, 41 DEGREES W).
Between June 1962 and July 1963, about 300 nansen casts were made at Ocean Station Vessel DELTA (44 deg N,41 deg W) during five 3-week cruises. Owing to the current at this location, time sampling is equivalent to space sampling. Statistics of the water mass parameters (surface temperature, salinity...

North Atlantic Basin water is found at depths between 1,300 and 2,750 meters. The bottom water mass below 2,750 meters is distinctive to the Newfoundland Basin and is warmer and saltier than the North Atlantic Basin Water.
