ABSTRACT 



Physical oceanographic conditions observed in northern Baffin Bay 

 during midsummer 1970 are described. Spatial distributions of tempera- 

 ture and salinity are discussed using vertical sections and horizontal plan 

 views. Circulation is discussed with the aid of dynamic topographies, 

 temperature-salinity analyses and isentropic diagrams, and computed 

 geostrophic volume transports are presented. Gross physical oceanographic 

 conditions observed during midsummer 1970 are compared with those 

 observed during previous summers.
