Cruise 5-2" (in the summer of 1952) 

 also displays, from analysis of dynamic 

 height data, a large, anti-cyclonic eddy in 

 the same region (figure 14). 



On the basis of the comparison of the 

 three sets of dynamic height data from the 

 eastern Gulf of Mexico, cruise 54-10 of the 

 A. A. JAKKULA was designed to investigate 

 the region with emphasis on the movements 

 of the eddy currents. Preliminary analysis 

 of these data has also shown the seune well- 

 defined eddy but it is somewhat larger in 

 size.
