STANDARD SECTION 4 AND REMAINING 

 SECTIONS 



The volume transports for the tv^^o occupa- 

 tions of Standard Section 4 are also presented 

 in Figure 69. These values represented the 

 westerly flow with Labrador Current charac- 

 teristics as defined by the 19-year average 

 temperature-salinity characteristic. This in- 

 formation is also presented in Table IV. The

volume transport increased from 3.75 to 6.27 X 

 ICm'^/sec between occupations. This was a 

 case where the normal topography for both 

 April and May showed a vigorous Labrador 

 Current. The 2-3 April 1966 occupation had 

 a relatively flat topography with lower than 

 normal values of dynamic heights observed at 

 the northernmost stations. The vigorous cir- 

 culation observed during 26-27 May 1966 

 coincided with a relatively high stand of water 

 on the Banks. This relatively high stand of 

 water implied the presence of less dense water 

 adjacent to the continental slope. The net vol- 

 ume transport eastward through the entire 

 Standard Section 4 was 59.88 X ICm^/sec. 

 This net volume was computed using a 2000 

 decibar reference surface. 



The net volume flow through the Labrador 

 Sea Section was .63 X lO'^m^/sec to the north- 

 west, and the total heat and salt transports 

 northward were 29.86 X 10«m''°C/sec and 

 123.30 X 10%g/sec respectively. This was 

 calculated using a 1500 decibar reference level. 

 The total northerly transport of that portion 

 of the West Greenland Current occupied was 

 6.26 X 10«mVsec. The total southerly trans- 

 port of the Labrador Current near South Wolf 

 Island, Labrador was 6.55 X lO'^m^/sec. The 

 total heat and salt transport southward for 

 the Labrador Current were 13.76 X 10«m3°C/ 

 sec and 299.67 X 10"kg/sec respectively. The 

 total southerly volume transport computed for 

 Section B occupied on 29-30 May 1966 was 

 2.60 X lOSmVsec. The total heat and salt 

 transports were 4.46 X 10''m3°C/sec and 

 89.97 X lO'^kg/sec respectively.
