Fig. 8. Sorfoee currents USS SAN PABLO GEK observations 29 May to 9 June 1953 



USS SAN PABLO (fig. 8), Currents setting to the west and^south-. 

 west show water entering the area through Windward Passage,, The eddy 

 off Punta Maisi is clearly indicated. The movement between Hispaniola. 

 and Jamaica is the reverse of tfc.t found by the R7 ATLANTIS. Sub- 

 sequent drift is westward and northwestward. A conn tercurrent flows 

 eastward along the southern coast of Cubru A large eddy is indicated 

 extending from Guantanamo to the passage between HLspaniola and Jamaica. 



III. TRANSPORT 



Before proceeding with a discussion of calculated volume trans- 

 port, it must be pointed out that there was a time difference of 7 

 weeks between the first and last oceanographic stations occupied by 

 the USS PURSUIT. In the light of the subsequent sxirveys by the 

 ATLANTIS and USS SAN PABLO, it is apparent that the circulation 

 was in a transient state during both USS PURSUIT surveys. Never- 

 theless, the data from each group have been integrated and transport 

 and relative currents calculated to see how they compared with the 

 GEK results.
