Hydrographic Data from Endeavor 223: Formation and Spreading of the Shallow Component of the North Atlantic Deep Western Boundary Current.
In March-April, 1991, a 34-day hydrographic cruise aboard R V Endeavor was undertaken to investigate the formation of the shallow component of the North Atlantic Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC). Forty-seven stations were occupied, including 4 crossings of the DWBC. Five of the stations comprise...
