Water Masses, circulation and transport in the eastern boundary current of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre
CTD sections carried out in September 1998 are used to describe the water masses, geostrophic circulation and mass transport in the eastermmost branch of the Canary Current.The surface water mass (<600m) consists of North Atlantic Central Water (NACW) flowing south with a net mass transport of 2....
