Current Measurements in the Lesser Antilles

摘要

A total of 175 lowered current meter stations, 58 hydrographic stations and 37 free-fall instrument stations were occupied in the passages of the Lesser Antilles in March and April, 1970. The data from these measurements together with that from 36 days of moored current measurements in the Grenada passage and the returns from 1000 drift bottles provide information on the transport of water through these passages.
