CGC WESTWIND at each station, was ex- 

 amined to determine the effect of wind on the 

 flow through Kane Basin. A relatively steady 

 wind (mean 12.3 kts. from 188° T.) with 

 velocities varying from to 20 knots was indi- 

 cated. This would induce a surface current 

 transport to the northeast and could result in 

 a reduced southerly transport or reversal of 



net flow depending on the fetch and duration 

 of the winds. However, the observed geostrophic 

 transport of the water remained southerly 

 throughout the period of observations. Detailed 

 studies with moored current meters, wind re- 

 corders, and tide gages would be required to 

 develop the relationship between the transports, 

 tides, and winds in this region.
