Abyssal boundary current studies, current measurements north of the Falkland Plateau: January 1986-April 1987

Abstract

The data described in this report were collected in support of the program, Abyssal Boundary Current Studies, funded by the National Science Foundation. This program was designed to improve our understanding of the structure and variability of the deep western boundary currents and to estimate their transport of heat and mass. Some of these deep western boundary currents are formed by the northward flow of the Antarctic Bottom Water along the eastern margins of the southern continents and ridges. In particular these data are from the energetic flow of this Bottom Water entering the South Atlantic
