currents. The intermediate water is in slow cyclonic circulation and 

 its core is seen in the temperature minimum, which will be considered 

 later, and in the salinity minimum of about 34.88%o.

PiGDBE 138. — Temperature and salinity profile Resolution Island to Fiskernaessett, June 

 11-16, 1928 (from the Godthaah's observations). 



Below the intermediate water is to be seen the deep water charac- 

 terized by lower temperatures than the intermediate water and by 

 salinity maxima. Here again the circulation is cyclonic and weak. 

 The center of the salinity maximum shown in figure 138 is located 

 on the Labrador side. On the Greenland side at intermediate depths
