VII. CONCLUSIONS 



Considerably more work should be done toward integrating 

 meteorological conditions in the Gulf of Mexico and the North 

 Atlantic with the current system in this study area. If this is 

 done, it might be possible to predict the system which would, exist 

 at a specific time, or at least define the percentage of time an 

 eastward or westward drift might be expected. 



In addition, further interpretation of the T-S diagrams 

 should be attempted before this study may be considered as more 

 than a preliminary report.
