Study of the oceanographic conditions in the Caribbean in 2003
A meridional hydrographic section was made in October 2003 at 66ºW from the coast of Venezuela to Puerto Rico. In this report, we concentrate from surface to 1700 m depth in the Caribbean. The data show two distinct water masses with different origins: Caribbean Surface Water, with salinity values l...
