Bottom water throughflows at the Rio de Janeiro Fracture Zone (22 ¿S) and Rio Grande Fracture Zone (26 ¿S) of Mid-Atlantic Ridge are identified from hydrographic anomalies observed along 9 ¿W in the Angola Basin. The throughflow water is supplied by a meridional band of cold and fresh water lying against the western flank of the Ridge. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
