Measurements of the salinity, oxity, and silicate from hydrographic stations occupied at opposite ends of the Anegada-Jungfern Passage have been plotted graphically against potential temperature ϑ. Passage have been plotted graphically against potential temperature ϑ. The water column has been divided into six layers on the basis of The water column has been divided into six layers on the basis of distinctive features in the ϑ-S, ϑ-O2, and ϑ-silicate relationships. The differences and similarities between these features at opposite ends of the passage are correlated with geostrophic current computations to describe the current pattern through this passage. At about the 700-m level the predominant current changes from a shallow flow into the Carribean to a deeper outflow. In a layer 200 m thick immediately above sill depth (1815 m) the current alternates between inflow and outflow. The net transport through the passage is an inflow of roughly 1.4 Sv(1 Sv=106 m3/s), mostly in the upper 400-500 m of the water column. The results are consistent with the distribution of water properties and, in the case of the deepest layers, with direct current measurements made at the same time. |
