ABSTRACT 



Two cruises were conducted to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland during 

 the 1974 International Ice Patrol season. The main purpose of these cruises was 

 to assist Commander, International Ice Patrol in the prediction of iceberg drift. 

 Direct current measurements were made in the Ice Patrol area with both subsur- 

 face current meter arrays and shipboard current meter stations. A flow onto the 

 Grand Banks was observed in addition to the southerly flowing Labrador 

 Current. An additional research project was completed involving the tagging of 

 icebergs and the observation of their drift.
