Figure 4. Mean Eulerian current. Schematic map showing the general direction 

 of the mean Eulerian current near the bottom in the axis of Lydonia Canyon and 

 over the adjacent shelf and slope. Note that the net is down-canyon near the 

 head and up-canyon at about 450 m, suggesting a convergence toward the head. 

 Over the shelf and slope, circled dots indicate westward flow (out of the page 

 toward the reader) and circled x's eastward flow (into the page away from the 

 reader). Over the outer edge of the shelf and slope, eastward flow is 

 associated with the presence of warm-core rings (see Figure 3).
