A New Theory of Caribbean Bottom Water Formation

摘要

The new data take the form of a hydrographic section which was made in the "Atlantis" in December, 1954. This section was planned in order to repeat one of Parr's sections which he made across the Caribbean Sea in March, 1933. The station positions of both these sections are plotted in Figure 1. Before presenting the changes which have occurred a brief description of the Caribbean deep water will be given together with Dietrich's theory as to its formation.
