20. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverae aide It neceaaary end Identity by block number) 



Ocean currents were measured in the central northeast Pacific, from 

 30°N to 40°N and 140°W to ISO^W, with nine arrays of moored current meters 

 during autumn 1973. Current meter records at depths from 700 m to 5420 m 

 were analyzed to determine the characteristics of intermediate and deep 

 currents within the central northeast Pacific. The currents in this region 

 have very low speeds which generally decrease with increasing depth. Con- 

 tributions to the time-dependent currents are primarily from oscillatory, ,
