wind was blowing at an average speed of 17 knots from the 

 south during the period of observations. 



For the southern Bering Sea region the current stream 

 lines, as deduced from the distribution of temperature alone, 

 are shown on figure 51 as dashed lines. Previous investi- 

 gators ' have reported the existence of eddies similar to the 

 one depicted here in this region of the Bering Sea. 



Figure 51. Dynamic height contours (0/45 dynamic meters) in dynamic 

 centimeters observed in the Bering and Chukchi Seas with direction of 

 calculated current flow indicated by arrowheads along the contours of 

 dynamic height. Observed drift of ship is indicated by short heavy arrows.
