Paper 15 



on 4-7 April (Fig. 15.11; station location plotted on 

 Fig. 15. 8e) showed only one crossing of the Gulf Stream 

 axisr inJicdting that the Gulf Stream had assumed its 

 directly eastward path by the tiiie of the section. The rise 

 in isotharms and isohalines at station 4 was due to the 

 proximity of this station to the Gulf Stream's northern 

 edge . 



On 14 April CFig. 1 5 . 8 f ) /• eddy 76B/ south of Georges Sank/ 

 was not visible in satellite imagery. The Gulf Stream had 

 merged with the west rriargin of the cyclonic eddy. 



By 18 April (Fiq. 15. 8g)/ the cyclonic eddy was incorporated 

 into the Gulf Stream/ but the former path of the Stream was 

 not completely abandoned. Hydrocast stations (Fig. 15.2/ 

 BeloQorsk/ 17-19 April) of leg AB were entirely in Slope 

 Water/ while the middle stations of leg BC were in the Gulf 

 Stream/ providing agreement with the surface pattern shown 

 in Fipure 15. 8g. Because of the placement of stations/ the 

 link between the old and the new Gulf Stream paths was not 

 recorded in Figure 15.12. 



On 24 April (Fig. 15. 8h)/ eddy 75C formed from the 

 of the old Gulf Stream path.
